I have a Pixel 8a, a recent upgrade from a Samsung SM-T719 tablet.  In
neither can I find a way of saving a particular SMS to the SIM to which
it relates.  Is there a way of doing this?

No. Since SMS was invented after SIM you can not store text messages on
a SIM,

 
That assumes that you can't ever modify what the SIM is, doesn't it?

No, it assumes, that SIM storage was not used for SMS and I did not
remember correctly - indeed SIMs were used as SMS storage as well. But
as far I know there is no universal way to transfer SMS to a SIM since
many devices just don't support that any longer.

It seems someone has figured it out:

Yes - it depends on the device and the SMS app used. On Google Pixel
devices this is not possible with the default SMS app and I don't know
if there is an app available at Google Play or F-Droid which supports
this at all.
