SCOTUS is might be involved now because Republicans brought the issue to the Court.

They have switched gears. The state court resolved issues of gerrymandering and fairness on the maps. The issue of maps was resolved at the state level. It ended with the state supreme court. The GOP has now switched gears to a new argument, putting fairness or neutrality of maps aside, that the state court has no authority to review the map at all. That's a new question for the Court to answer, if they choose to answer it.
