States are not allowed to suspend Federal Laws. What would happen if they did depends on the law and its penalties. If it was an important law, federal marshals and , if necessary, the national guard would enforce the law. This happened with school integration. Federal power forced state governors to back down. When Jackson was president, South Carolina claimed a right to nullify federal tariffs.
Jackson objected strongly and took steps to collect the tariff. States can file suits against federal regulations on constitutional grounds. Sometimes the court will suspend the law until it rules.
