I'm thinking no, but once I arrive in SFO will an agent have a problem placing me on standby at that point?

Also, any chance I can SDC to BOS-EWR-LAX?

Once you reach SFO, you will not be able to SDC. I've tried many times and it's ever worked - your BOS-LAX coupon has already been lifted at BOS, and there's nothing for the agent to revalidate for the earlier SFO-LAX.

Even IRROPS are a struggle at the intermediate point of a direct flight.
