If it is a red state, then they could simply refuse. You do realize that there were a couple of states that were trying to keep Biden off of the ballot using the existing deadlines as a method, right???

Not only is that old, it's also a FoxNews article.
It is 1 months old. It's also true. The DNC had to pull some fast changes in order to make it happen.
FOR BIDEN.
Do you want to rest on the good will of the politicians in red states for that "trust me bro" guarantee that your new candidate will be on the ballot?
Yes, and those issue are resolved. Ohio passed legislation to push the date out and Alabama accepted a resolutution saying they would certify Biden. If the red states can refuse anyone, then they would just refuse Biden to begin with. There are legislative deadlines for these things, and all but one is after the DNC, so they would have to sue on very shakey ground. An article from a month does not prove that, it just means the source is behind or did not update the article.
For BIDEN.
Exactly what do you think is going to happen when you try to swap in someone else? The Republicans are known for acting in good faith. I'm sure nothing bad would happen.
