With the introduction of Loyalty Points AA stopped giving out SWU's just for making EXP. SWU's are now just a Loyalty Point reward option for reaching certain Loyalty Point thresholds.
With the updates to the award thresholds in the '23-24' qualification year you now need earn 175k LP's to reach the first Loyalty Point reward option that includes the option to select SWU's.
So long winded answer but no, you won't receive SWU's for a status boost or challenge to EXP, you need to earn the 175k LP's.
