Does sdc have any HA?  For example, if you make a new usb with current updates, do you need to bring the whole node down with all VMs just to get the updates, or is there a better approach.

a good way of handling HA on Triton is to use replication functionality provided by particular application instead of relying on VMware type of functionality when node dies, which in most cases really isn't "HA" (it's Failover) because the VM needs to be brought up elsewhere after the node suddenly dies.

ie. if you are running a email server for example using Postfix you could use Dovecot's dsync feature to replicate the actual email between multiple instances:

There is also Container Name Service (CNS) which can be utilized to certain extent if planned accordingly with the application deployment:

Then there is Autopilotpattern / Containerpilot:

https://www.joyent.com/blog/using-docker-compose
https://www.joyent.com/blog/rolling-deploys-with-compose

(the Docker stuff with Containerpilot might be little bit out of scope of this discussion but it's worth checking out).

Joyent Blog has good deal of information with what's possible and how things should be deployed in scale for redundancy:
