Could someone please tell me what happens when a company declares a dividend in their stock and there is a very large short position

The shorts pay the dividend to the owner of the stock. Discounting any secondary effects and tax consequences, it is revenue-neutral for the short because the stock drops by the dividend amount. No reason for the SEC to get involved.
