From Article IV Section 3 U.S. Constitution:
“nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”
There is nothing about needing the consent of the Governor.

Not applicable, since it is not forming a new State. Just counties jumping from high-tax to low-tax status.

IV.

There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents parts of one state breaking off and joining another existing state. So yeah, these counties could break away and join South Dakota and the governor, state and fed Legislators have no say.
