Now we’re getting serious. All the preliminary proclamations were just theater. Still, SCOTUS is not going to negate or reverse the election. But this could send a shockwave through the Deep State and the Dem establishment as a warning for the future.

This is accepting the Left's framing of the narrative. SCOTUS doesnt have to "negate or reverse" the election because the results are illegitimate and unconstitutional. All they have to do is affirm that.

That’s not what they’d be expected to do. Their job is to rule that the defendant states violated the constitution by changing their election rules without proper legislative action/consent. An “emergency Covid directive” by the Secretary of State is clearly NOT a legislative action. Therefore these state’s elections should be ruled unconstitutional and they should be directed to select their electors in a constitutional manner. Either by a new statewide general election, or by vote of their state legislature. It won’t be up to SCOTUS to determine how. It will be up to the elected legislature of each affected state. And if they are unable, their electoral votes will be 0.

The only wrinkle I can see is if the individual state legislature previously granted broader authority to their SOS to be able to make such rules and changes without legislative consent.

I think it all comes down to this.

Technically you may be correct; the lawsuit's goal is to send the decision on which electoral voters are selected in these states back to their legislatures. They are all Republican controlled legislatures. If they have any cohones at all the legislatures will "negate or reverse the election".
