Re-dropping off claimed baggage after international flight layover at SFO
score:5
Will my baggage already be marked for Austin.
No. Separate tickets mean the bags will not be tagged to AUS if you bought SFO-AUS separately.
If not, can they be (since it's the same airline)?
The answer, unfortunately, is a pretty large maybe. I wouldn't count on it.
If you're purchased a separate SFO-AUS ticket, it may be theoretically possible for the check-in agent (either in Surat or New Delhi, depending on the answer to Doc's question, wherever you're starting this ticket) to link your separate tickets together and print a bag tag through to AUS. However, this apparently is a complicated process the agent may not know how to do, and it may be unavailable in some circumstances, such as if one of the tickets is a basic economy fare. And the agent you'll be talking to in Surat won't be a United agent, so they may well be unable to help.
What I'd personally do:
When you check in in Surat (assuming you have purchased a single STV-DEL-SFO ticket; let us know if that's not the case), show the agent your separate SFO-AUS itinerary and ask if they can tag your bags through to Austin. I wouldn't really have high expectations of this working, especially as you won't be seeing a United rep in Surat at all, but you might as well ask I guess. If bag tags that say AUS on them come out of that process, perfect: you can drop your bags off again at SFO after customs.
If you have a single STV-DEL-SFO ticket, you won't see your bags in DEL at all, so there's nothing to be done there.
Assuming that didn't work, when you reach the baggage re-check area at SFO after customs, see if there's a United rep at the transfer counter. If so, show them your SFO-AUS ticket information and see if they'll take your bags. They may well not, but it's worth asking if there's not a long line.
If that all fails, go up one level to the Airport Travel Agency and pay them to store your bags. It's not cheap. Pick them up when you return to SFO, walk to the next terminal (it's close and they're directly connected), and check in for your SFO-AUS flight.
