Yes, D did offer to be the SK instead of Sirius, but was he aware of
James' decision to change to Peter on Sirius' recommendation? Did D know
that Peter was the actual SK? I would think he didn't know because he
would've been able to get Sirius off had he known. Perhaps I didn't
clarify my question enough the first time around.

I think this reference must be referring to the time before they changed
to Peter. Or perhaps I'm confused...
