Any school is going to look at your SAT grades. They're a given in the US admissions process, even for internationals. My suggestion is to work hard to get those SAT grades into a decent range, even hire a tutor to help you do so if necessary.

TOEFL is just to test basic proficiency, colleges want to make sure you pass a certain cutoff. SAT I verbal is supposed to test higher order verbal skills and vocabulary.

...And you don't pass/fail the SAT.

Just thought of one possibility - this site lists schools where submitting SAT scores is optional - double check if that still applies to internationals:
