Now that the Outer Banks has been closed off to tourists, I'm wondering if Hilton Head will do the same? And if so, what happens to our reservation in a few weeks? Difficult times, that's for sure.

I would assume you will not want to even attempt to go to any reservation. Things over the next few weeks will only get worse. It's nice to think otherwise, but it is smart to now prepare for the worst case scenario.
Make plans now so you won't be left standing with nothing at all.
The town has been very good with updates lately, posting them to https://hiltonheadislandsc.gov/publicsafety/coronavirus/ and their social media platforms. There are links on the bottom of that page to sign up for a subscription service for the latest and most reliable info.
As of yesterday town offices, public beaches and parks are open but all organized recreational activities are canceled. The "social distancing" instruction from state agencies is recommended. They held a Town Council meeting today at 4:00PM and I'm expecting an update any minute now.
Of course, this is all in flux but off-hand it seems to me that a condo on HH would be a fine place to wait this out for a couple of weeks. No crowds, we don't need restaurants to be content so social distancing won't be difficult to achieve except for the occasional need to go grocery shopping, a beach to walk along, clean facilities. The worst-case scenarios have already cost us a theater trip to NYC which would have started today and a planned (and partially paid for) trip to Croatia ending in Italy in the spring. I'm not sure how HH would adversely affect us differently than staying at home at this point as long as we're driving down and not dependent on airlines.
You cancel your reservation then, you will get your points back in a holding account which you can use up to your points expiration date (perhaps end of year like most). You'll be able to arrange a stay at any point until then, but only 120 days from the date you are making the reservation.
We are scheduled to be at Grand Ocean, arriving on Sunday. I have been going back and forth on whether to proceed. We will be driving down and our plans were always to just spend time reading, biking, and walking on the beach. We cook for ourselves and plan on bringing most of our food with us. I don't see this itinerary putting us or anyone else at risk but still feel apprehensive about this with everything I am reading and hearing. We too just cancelled an upcoming trip to Europe which was scheduled for May.

Yeah, I can see how you could go either way. I'd likely go if driving. Given you aren't planning any activities that are with lots of other people. We always cook for ourselves too. Whether at home or there, you'll still need groceries either way.
We just cancelled a trip to Florida for Easter week and I have an extra II deposit that is showing all of the HH resorts right now. HH is drive-able and we'd also probably just chill for a week at the beach anyway. We could bring most supplies down there and occasionally run and get something take-out to help the local economy. I think the risks to us and others aren't any different than us being here but still worried about this getting worse, both public health and government-mandate-wise.
It looks like there's not supposed to be any outdoor dining: "SC Gov Henry McMaster issued several executive orders ... All restaurants and other food service establishments are mandated to cease all on-premises services. However, such establishments may continue to operate their kitchens for drive-thru, delivery, take-out, and exterior pick-up of food service."
I just spoke to the front desk at Grand Ocean. She said that most things are operating as normal at the resort with the exception of hot tubs/sauna being closed and some activities such as aerobics being cancelled due to the size of the group. I did not ask about food service as that is not an issue for us. She was reassuring that there is not a possibility of being kept off the island or being unable to leave. They have had some cancellations but occupancy is at least 50%.
Honestly, whatever they say now is meaningless for a month from now. A month ago, no one had a clue we would be where we are today with airlines operating only 30% of their schedule, hotels at less than 25% occupancy, all cruises shut down, major cities on lock down, all restaurants and bars closed/takeout only, and malls closing down. I don't think anyone can accurately predict what next week is going to be like, let alone next month.
We were at Grande Ocean on Wednesday. Pretty quiet, restaurant and Marketplace were all closed (Marketplace closing may be old news, or it may just be open in Summer). All of the pools and jacuzzis were taped off and closed, and activities cancelled. Staff was great but I think they were frazzled. A lot of empty shelves at Publix. We are happy to get home after a long drive.
