This is based on prevailing law in the United States. If you live elsewhere, you should so indicate.
Yes, they may refuse if the non-custodial parent did not relinquish their parental rights either voluntarily or involuntarily in preparation for adoption or otherwise give their permission as a matter of court record.
If the stepfather is legally adopting the child (which could only happen with consent of the non-custodial parent and only if parental rights were terminated), then the right to change the child's surname is given.
