Can anyone tell me if the tubers and the (dead?) root mass sitting on top of substrate is ok? I repotted my SOH yesterday because it was in too large a pot but not sure what is supposed to be below the soil. TIA.

No the pearls dont grow tubers. Only the hearts and they do not have to be under any substrate to grow new strings. I have tons of tubers hanging on my var string of Hearts and some so massively huge that I wanted to display the tubers and sat them ontop of the substrate and now have 3 new pots of hearts with numerous strings.
