If Sarah wants to be on the ballot in South Carolina, she needs to file by November 1st.”
Does filing require the “candidates” signature?
It has occurred to me that Palin could simply “allow” her name to be put on these various ballots as the deadlines come up.
That would be consistent with what I have seen so far, that’s for sure.
Does anyone know that? Does a filing in a state for that state’s Presidential primary typically require a signature of the person whose name will be on the ballot?
Not if she wants to run in the Republican primaries.

No, it isn't. People writing in Sarah's name for straw polls is different from a primary ballot.

The Republican Party of South Carolina cannot add Sarah's name to the state's Republican primary ballot without her explicit application.
Each state has different filing requirements for political parties that nominate by convention/caucus (R's & D's) and each state party has its own filing requirements/forms.
She will have to file explicitly as herself in Illinois, too. I’m not aware of any state that would allow a candidate to be passively entered on the ballot.
