Sorry, I don't know about the error filter either. Have you tried deleting and refreshing data prior to that point? If it's a bad tick they may have fixed it. Also, under the edit menu there is an export and edit intraday data. Just tried it. It takes forever to export and a 587mb scid file turned into a 1.2gb text file, but I think you can fix it manually and then reimport.
As I see it your settings are too generous: SPY in your example falls into the range 50 -150.
You allow a 100% variation for a new high/low. That is SPY could move up to 260 or down to 0 before your error filter starts filtering.
Yes, those are the platform defaults. I couldn't find any realistic values and am not sure I understand this approach. Most platforms just look at the proceeding tick and have a percentage variation filter.

This is a bad tick in IQ. I see it as well. There is a tick at 15:45.24 with a volume of over 1M. Not sure what that is, but you can report it to IQ and they will remove/fix it (or explain why it is not a bad tick).
Looking at your filter settings, obviously it won't be filtered, as you are using the defaults (as do I) and 100% filter would not filter lower ticks unless they are negative.
When you read the help text you linked to, it obviously does work for historical ticks (but I think this means downloaded historical ticks, not ticks loaded from disk as it has no effect when I change the settings and reload the chart).
When I set the 50-150 range to "1" (1%), and reload the data from IQ a number of ticks get filtered out including the bad tick in question. There are messages in the log saying it filtered a bunch of ticks, but those messages are not real useful since it lists the high/lows, but not the bad tick.
1% seems a little tight to me, as a real gap could hit that. Not sure how SC deals with gaps and filtering.
I would post to the SC forum for more info or to make suggestions.
