At the national level, they're just an arm of the DNC.
There is one independent candidate running that they've endorsed (https://brittanyforri.com/) and when they announced that endorsement they spelled her name wrong and included a donate link that sent the money to their Democrat candidates and not to her. (They use ActBlue, which prohibits independent candidates.)
Also, not sure exactly what the deal is here, but may be worth noting that they got Bernie to endorse every candidate DSA has endorsed *except her*. Which seems pretty ironic since he's "independent" himself... (although to be fair that could be because she's not running in a primary)
