Sometimes. The US Supreme Court only has jurisdiction over cases involving a state law if the case involves a preserved "federal question." That means the US Supreme Court has jurisdiction if the state law is relevant to a case before the Court, or is in conflict with the US Constitution, a superseding federal law or treaty, or an Executive Order. Preserved means the question must have been raised at trial and at each successive appeal afterward.
In most instances, state laws and state constitutional issues fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts.
