I hate to say this, but this sounds a little bit like a first world problem. The SATs are scheduled essentially every month between August and June. If the prom is on the same night as the SAT, either take the SAT in the morning and do your prom stuff in the afternoon or schedule another exam date at another school. There are no rules that say you have to take the exam at your school, you can take it where ever they are offering it an you can get a seat. The exam is offered in June 2018, then in August, October, November, December (Just register at a school). This is happening 10 months from now giving you plenty of time to come with a plan.

For girls, prom is a long day no matter how you slice it., She can schedule the mani-pedi in advance if she cannot get it all done in the same day. She can schedule hair and make up after after the exam. Your daughter is going to follow your lead on this; if you can calmly schedule the logistics, then she will be ok. But if you are freaking out, you are placing unnecessary stress on her.

My D’s high school has never hosted the SAT. She has taken taken the SAT in a school in my neighborhood, she has taken them at other schools. She took them. There are plenty of schools in the NYC DOE that do not host the SATs. Kids take them at the schools closest to their home or where they can easily get to early on a Saturday morning.
