Generally only legally adopted children become heirs-at-law. Since you use the term "step-grandchildren" I assume they were not legally adopted by their step-parent and would not be heirs-at-law of the step-parent's parents.

Your step father's father died and you think you are entitled to something? Did your step father adopt you? If he didn't adopt you, there is probably no entitlement, unless you were specifically named in the will. The executor of the estate, who may be your step father, will have to show the courts that he distributed the estate as the will specified. If you are in the will, you are entitled to be able to read it. If you are not in the will, and were not adopted, they don't have to share it with you.

I have got guardian kinship of my granddaughter and now her step grandmother (who has never seen her) wants visitation. The father of my granddaughter is in jail for attempted murder. What are her chances of getting visitation?
The behavior of the child's father should not keep her from her grandparents. Children have the right to family, especially their grandparents. If you do not know the step-grandmother, it does not seem reasonable for you to turn the child over to her, but it would be nice if you could arrange a visit where you would be present. Given that this person is a step-grandmother and has to date had no contact with the child, it is unlikely that a court will grant visitation. On the other hand, the reasons that she has not ever seen the child, the age of the child, and other considerations may come into play. Regardless, the court will want to do what is best for the child.

In NC is the step grandchildren of an heir entitled to to his share of the sale of estate property?
It depends on what the will says. It must specify that natural grand children and step grandchildren are to be treated the same in order for the step grandchild to get any inheritance. The question seems to indicate that the inheritor is still living and is garnering assets bu being named a beneficiary of a will. If such is the case, the named party is not legally bound to share an inheritance with anyone unless said inheritor is married and lives in a community property state. Be that as it may, as noted stepchildren or grandchildren would have to be named in a will as recipients before they would be entitled to any assets or property. The law considers such persons as being "removed from the bloodline" and would only be considered under probation succession laws if there were no other surviving blood relations.
