Engine stand bolt scratched flywheel. Do I need to replace?

Use a straitedge and light, like you're checking a head.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I'll be taking the motor off of the engine stand to add space and will check the flywheel then to ensure it's straight.

If it created an edge, would I be able to get the flywheel resurfaced and be okay?

Yeah, as long as they get a tool pattern on the whole thing, so you know there's nothing raised, it should take almost no time or meat at all.
