security analyst here. It’s very unlikely. not impossible. just extremely unlikely. the amount of data a sim card can hold is very miniscule so even using a few bytes to save a file that let’s say runs a reverse shell wouldn’t really be very feasible. The amount of money telecom companies use to secure their shit is insane.
That being said 0 day exploits are a thing but once they’re used they’re basically burned as companies scramble to patch. but hey. anything is possible man
But you’re probably fine
If anything it would most likely be the case that someone would hack your phone and gain access to other machines in your home network (eg printer, tv and etc) and re-infect your phone after you wipe it
