The standard model is basically a description of the fundamental forces, and is usually talked about by particle physicists studying things like the Higgs, quarks, etc. In condensed matter (materials) the only relevant interactions are electromagnetism and quantum effects, strong and weak interactions play no role because of the length scales at play (angstroms to nm) and the energy scales (meV to eV). Superconductivity involves phonons (vibrations) and electrons, at least in BCS, so you will never really find anyone discussing the 'Standard model' and superconductivity because the former is fundamental, while superconducting materials require consideration of emergent and many-particle effects which come about by having so many particles in a solid. Not sure I cleared anything up but hope that helps.
