I'm guessing that SDI payments will be reduced, which is OK.

No, it would be the other way around. You have two separate claims and two separate benefit years. One for SDI, one for Unemployment benefits. Each have different benefit-year beginning and end dates. A later unemployment claim may provide lower benefits than your current SDI by a good amount because (1) some of your earnings will have aged out of the base-period at the time you apply for unemployment, and (2) unemployment generally pays a considerably lower benefit than SDI. SDI payments cannot replace earnings/wages - so any unemployment claim will be based on wages remaining in the base-period, not any SDI payments received.

SDI benefits can resume if you are again disabled within the SDI benefit year. You would need to provide medical evidence for that. SDI and Unemployment have benefit years for a reason. Those benefits are use it or lose it within that benefit year. If you have not exhausted all your SDI benefits under your first SDI claim when its benefit year ends, you need to reapply for a new claim. Any new claim will be based on available earnings not yet used in your earlier SDI claim.
