What happens when someone scans an SMS QR code?

Scanning the QR code automatically opens the user's messaging application with the recipient phone number and message pre-populated, so they only need to tap send.

Can I write an SMS action to an NFC tag?

Yes. On Chrome for Android, tap "Write to NFC" to write the sms: URI directly to any compatible NFC tag.

Does scanning an SMS QR code send the message automatically without user permission?

No. For security and privacy, phone operating systems open the SMS drafting screen and require the user to explicitly tap the send button.
