I do presume that I will have a BP for the NZ flight before leaving CPH.

I also checked there is a UA flight to AKL 3-4 hours later, which is a "natural" back up plan. But to whom should I talk if I misconnect at SFO? Should I try to find NZ? (they will probably be all gone, if I misconnect,)
There is only really one route to immigration and customs. I don't know if SFO added a connections only security flow, LAX did and that helped greatly on getting back in to the terminal. But keep your eyes out for that, as the standard security flows in SFO can be sluggish even the Premier Access line. If no dedicated connection lines, look out for the Premier Access line.
