RE: 7 Amazing Benefits of SteemPress for WordPress Users
Google says this:
Google supports frames and iframes to the extent that it can. Frames can cause problems for search engines because they don't correspond to the conceptual model of the web. In this model, one page displays only one URL. Pages that use frames or iframes display several URLs (one for each frame) within a single page. Google tries to associate framed content with the page containing the frames, but we don't guarantee that we will.
So, maybe they started to crawl iframes to some extent.
Also, not sure if this is an authority, but the first result I've been showed by Google when searching for "iframes good or bad for seo" was this answer from Quora:
Because the content within the iframe is attributed to the source URL and not your own page, iframes do not offer any inherent SEO value for your on-page optimization. When it comes to iframes and SEO, they appear to neither directly help nor hurt your on-page search engine optimization.
I agree with it, or I wouldn't have quoted it.
So the source/parent is defined in the steempress iframe to be my own page.
I gotta run some tests. This site is too new, I dont even have my ssl cos the hosting messed up. But once it's all sorted I be in a better position to run tests

Ok, testing never hurts.
Although, as you could see in Google's comment on this matter, they tend to disapprove of the use of iframes. But they rarely say it straight.
But if testing shows Steempress comment plugin is ok for SEO, than even one more point for using it.
