Flying UA870 SYD-SFO next week and trans-Pacific 777s have suffered cancellations recently. If this happens to my flight, what can I expect United to do for me?

Nothing

They will get you on the next available UA flight from SYD, they may also look for SYD-(BNE/MEL/AKL/CHC)-SFO options. If this is a paid ticket & with some persistence you can probably get them to re-route you on QF, assuming there are no seats on UA metal flights available.
UA will also pay hotels/meals as appropriate assuming the cancellation is 'controllable' (which most of them are on this route).

SYD-LAX/IAH-SFO should also be options.
