Generally, cities and counties and townships (etc.) are created by the State legislature and get all their powers of government by permission of the State. So if a local "home rule" law conflicts with a state law, the state law should prevail. The local law should be void and unenforceable. The law would call it "ultra vires" meaning the local government went beyond their authority to pass such a law. But if state law says that local governments are allowed to regulate things above and beyond the state level of regulation, then it's OK. So really, the answer is "it depends" on what law on what subject, and in what jurisdiction.

It is called the Supreme Law of the Land only for the United States and its citizens. It is called supreme because all other sub forms of government within the country and all legislation passed by individual states and their local districts must not pass laws that supersede the rights and laws of the Federal Government. The Federal Government gives and protects the rights of all of its citizens and those rights can not be infringed upon by any other legislation which violates those rights. Supreme=highest law to which all others are held accountable.
