Any replacement sim will replace the active sim you have on your account. If your issue is with a Samsung account then have you spoken to Samsung to see if they can help ?

Re: Lock out my Samsung account

I've tried contacting Samsung with this issue but there is little.they can do to help I've searched for answers online and I need various information on the phone I do not have anymore. I have the Imei number but there are others I don't.

If 2fa is enabled on the account then Samsung won't help as it is a security feature which is not meant to be bypassed. If it was easy then anyone could supply personal details (gained from a security breach) to pretend they're you & access the account.
Did you save the backup codes when you set up 2fa? 
Did you set up an authenticator app to generate the log in code?

Have you checked the information here?
