The Supreme Court struck down the federal moritorium [0]; and there wording made it clear the issue was the CDC exceeding it's authority under current law (as opposed to a fundamental constitutional issue).
As such, this ruling has no bearing on state issued eviction moratoriums.
Having said that, the New York moratorium (which was passed as a law by the state legislature) expired today (August 31, 2021), so that is a moot point in this case. For completeness, I will point out that the US Supreme court also evaluated this state law [1], and mostly allowed it to continue. The only change they made was allowing landlords to contest the claim of hardship from the tenants. For further completeness, that was the only part of the New York law the Court was asked to rule on, so conceivably they would still have overturned the entire thing if the proper case was brought before them.
