Trump is being sued civilly. This isn’t a criminal case.
Article III Section 1:
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States; between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.Article III Section 1:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
"Cases in Law" refers to 6th amendment trials.
"Cases in Equity" refers to 7th amendment trials.
In both 6th and 7th amendment cases, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction.

Again, the case against Trump in New York is a state case. The Supreme Court of the United States hears three type of cases: 1) original jurisdiction, 2) Appeals from federal courts 3) Appeals from the highest state courts.
The Trump appeal would first be heard by the first district Appellate Division of the NY Supreme Court.
