The standard evasion tactic for SR-71 upon launched against was to simply accelerate.

That would be the only option. It's not like you can turn much you'd pass out or snap the airframe.

I imagine thought a little snake left/right might compromise getting the images that was the point of the mission.

Apparently it could also turn pretty hard. Mind, it's turn radius was huge, but at mach 3.2 it still meant pulling a lot of g's.
