No. This plays a very minimal role in the application process. I never took the SAT’s (had ACT), and it was never brought up. If they are extraordinarily low then maybe consider it.

If it was ever brought up, just say “In high school I prioritized my athletics/job/extracurriculars over standardized test scores. Looking back I could have spent more time on them, but I still got into my favorite college, got $xxx amount in scholarships (if you got any), and feel like I am a more well-rounded candidate because of those experiences.”
