CONTACT A LAWYER.
You tell a disjointed story, no details.
Par 1. Pleaded guilty, sentenced to drug test and fine. Left SD. (California medical cannabis recommendation irrelevant)
Par. 2. SD Court Order == Test by 15 Dec 08. Does SD know present address? Did SD court order test at a particular address?
Par 3. My idea == If no test by 15 Dec 2008, a warrant will be issued in SD for your partner. Return to SD, partner could be arrested.
If warrant sent to CA, partner could be arrested and returned to SD. If bond is high enough, bond agents could retrieve partner, but not likely.
Get A Lawyer in CA. A lawyer can get all this cleared up with a few properly addressed and worded letters.
After the guilty plea, the details are unimportant. Your partner has to follow the SD court instructions.

ND doesn’t care about CA. Apples and potatoes.

1) “Medical marijuana” in California means nothing in North Dakota. You have to obey the laws of the state you’re in, not the ones of the state you’re from.
2) “Medical marijuana” does NOT legalize marijuana even in California. Marijuana is illegal everywhere in the US.
3) A misdemeanor warrant in one state will not likely result in an extradition to another state. However, an arrest will be waiting for him when he returns.
