+1 - This is the key anad the answer to OP's question. While the conventional wisdom is not to worry, his question is "what happens if...?"
As a matter of CS, UA will generally do what it can to acommodate. Here, where UA flies the route, it should be less of a problem. But, UA's sole obligation is to issue a refund. You can't force UA to do anything else and, in this example, SAS would not exist.

Last time I had an award ticket booked on a carrier that went under, the ticket-issuing airline got me on their own metal without any fuss -- even earned a good chunk of miles for the award ticket. The time before that, I go booked on another partner airline and earned miles on that too.
I wouldn't count on all the big 3 Scandinavian government shareholders of SAS keeping SAS out of bankruptcy. I would count on actually at least 2 of the Scandinavian countries letting SK go by its own devices without much if any governmental life preserver being thrown at SK.
