I assume you can use SF when prone normally (i.e. on a chain push).

What about from a Fanatic? Is his pushing a prone player the equivalent of a block?

Stand Firm and Side Step don't work on prone/stunned players.

On page 23 under Skills

6. Only Extraordinary skills work when a player is Prone or Stunned.

Of course, a specific rule overrides the general (see Thick Skull)
but unless it is an extraordinay skill or explicitly mentioned in the skill text it can't be used prone/stunned.
