When you check-in for SFO-SEA, you will also be checked-in for SEA-SAN if the connection is <= 4 hours. You will get your boarding pass for the down line segment even though it is outside the 24hr check-in window for the flight. You won't be able to see the waitlist until 24 hours before, however. You can't SDC the return until check-in for the flight opens.
When OLCI opens for SAN-SEA, check-in from
that flight tab in your itinerary. If there are earlier segments that you can still check-in for, whether checked in or not, you will be prompted asking if you want to check-in for all prior segment(s). Say no to check-in for SAN-SEA only. See if you are able to SDC that segment independently.
