The SIDS refugees will have a real problem -- but the bright spot is that their numbers will be tiny. I think it likely that various other countries will take them in, because it won't be a significant burden.
The Ganges Delta, on the other hand, is home to "
b)etween 125 and 143 million people" (per Wikipedia). Their land won't as quickly be outright submerged, the way those islands will be, but they live in a flat, low-lying area that's shot through with the distributaries of the Ganges. With river water, sea level rise, and increased tropical storms from the Bay of Bengal, quite a bit of the delta could become uninhabitable as a practical matter well before being completely and permanently submerged.
This could easily become the biggest refugee crisis in human history.
