What if the statement has not yet been paid in full?

I am about to cancel my SPG card, right before the year is up and I'm charged the annual fee. I am canceling now, in the middle of my last month (actually toward the end). So the points from that month have not been transferred to my SPG account yet.

Will they automatically be transferred even after the card is canceled? Or what should I do?

I'm assuming that even after I cancel the card, whatever points I already have at SPG will remain, and I can go to spg.com and transfer them to Delta SkyMiles.
