In fact, for several years, UA would rarely / never show you SDC options that included a flight you were already on.
I have been able to do this. Partner segment stays the same, connecting UA flight changed to earlier/later. Never tried on the app ... only on the phone. I assume there will be limitations; if the partner segment is not UA coded or if the booking class is not available since the ticket needs to be re-issued. So yes ... the booking class still needs to be available ... that is the rule for SDC.
