First, try to catch your original SFO-EWR flight. Even if you miss it, UA will try to put you in standby for business class on next flight.
Second, check App to see whether or not you can confirm to a later flight if you are 90% sure of misconnection. Typically, there are two seats remaining on some flights. Because of the delay of SYD-SFO (ie, irregular operation), there will be some options available to you (e.g., take a one stop if nonstop is not available).
Good luck!
