I thought a SC tie means the lower court ruling stands.

Yes, it does. What if there are contradictory rulings?
Nightmare scenario: Democrats flood the zone, calling several states into question. The House votes, but each party controls 25 state delegations, so they keep tying. Multiple lawsuits ensue. They have contradictory results. It's appealed to the Supreme Court, which is a justice short, and it ties 4-4.
