How long is reasonable in terms of waiting for a response to an inquiry made to an SP? Also, if you have seen the SP before, is it ok to send another e-mail a couple days later to ask if she had received the previous one, or is this too intrusive?
 
I personally try to answer my emails within 12-24 hours (most of the time it is much sooner). I have no problem if someone sends me an email after 24hours to ask if I received an earlier email .... sometimes the message could have gotten filtered or deleted or eaten by the internet.

If it is a question of wanting an appointment I would re-send the message after 12 hours if the request for the appointment is soon or even give her a call.

48-72 hours is acceptable wait time.
 
I'll wait up until 48 hours... and then make another SP choice. If I've seen them before... I'm sure they'd have no problem with me sending a follow up e-mail. But the chances are I'd probaby be using their phone number on follow-up visits.
