The short answer to this is: no. It would be an Americans with Disability Act Accommodation for the store to alter it's general practice or procedure to allow a small dog to ride in the cart, versus walk on the floor. However it is considered bat etiquette by many service dog handlers to do so. Many small service dogs walk on the floor, just like a big dog.

How would a dog in the child's seating area be any different than a child with a messy diaper in that child's seat?

I would suggest that if your dog is pulling you to fast, that the SD might need some re-training regarding walking nicely alongside of you. Does your SD do it all the time--pull you--or is it only in the grocery store, or when you are in busy places and in a crowd? These answers might give you insight into the area you might want to retrain your dog in.
