I can't speak for the SDR driver, but I would be very surprised if it was filtering/checking/altering raw data in any way (other than perhaps unit conversion) - that is not the role of a WeeWX driver. WeeWX has the StdQC service <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdQC> to apply simple quality control of data.
I can speak for the Ecowitt gateway device driver (nee GW1000 driver) - it does not perform any data filtering/checking/altering other than standard checksum verification of the raw API data received from the Ecowitt gateway device.
