Does only self-reporting SAT scores hurt chances?

I interpret the OP’s question to be “If someone actually has something like a 3.2 GPA and a 1480 SAT, and the school says self-reporting is acceptable, couldn’t the school still have doubts about the self-reported test score really being that much better than the GPA? Would it be safer to send an official report anyway to avoid that possibility?”

So I don’t see this as an attempt to send in a false score. My opinion is that if a school says they consider self-reported scores you should take them at their word. They know that some people have scores and grades that are not at the same level.
