So I'm running out of room for games on my SD card and the 27 gb in system memory is just sitting there staring at me waiting for me to use it, but I've been avoiding it because I'm afraid it could affect my nand. Will it hurt anything if I install games to system memory with tinfoil while running on emunand on my SD card?

The "system memory" you see when in emunand is the hidden partition you made when setting it up. Installing to that is fine and won't touch your real sysnand.

A hidden partition in the NAND? That's safe to write to? It's definitely not a hidden partition on my SD card, I just put it in my PC to double check in disk management.

If you are using Sxos and selected hidden partition when setting up emunand, Then yes it is on your SD card even if you dont see it in windows.

I didn't select hidden partition. I'm using 122 GB of my 128 GB sd card, and Tinfoil is showing an additional 27 gb of system memory that's available

If you're in emunand, what you write to that 27gb should only effect your emunand (I guess your rawnand.bin or whatever it's called in the sxos world).
