Well, Biden is already in the White House, so if they don't certify, he remains in power de facto. Then, the Supreme Court would make his win official.
And yes, I think the court would do so. They are not going to jeopardize their legitimacy just for Trump. The establishment GOP would be happy to have a second term Biden if it meant their supreme court and state government can keep working on their agenda

His term runs out on Jan 20. So does the Vice President's. My read is if he doesn't get sworn in again by the Chief Justice the Speaker of the House becomes President.
He might get sworn in but I don't think he necessarily just remains in power.
