Are you saying she was your grandfather’s second wife? Interested in the answers. I am assuming they were born within the last 100 years for the question to arise? Or are you talking living ordinances?

Our responsibility is for our blood relatives and their spouse(s).
There are exceptions in that our responsibility extends with respect to those who provided support to our relatives, such as those having an adoptive, step, foster, and guardian relationship to our ancestor as a child.
Adoptive and step ancestral line relationships are treated as if they are blood ancestral line relationships.
We have been asked to respect living close relatives to our blood relatives who were born within the past 110 years. Close relatives are defined as their living spouse at the time of their death, parents, siblings, and children.

'Tom' is correct, in that, the preference is for doing the Work for our, recent, close, "Ancestral"; and, some "Extended Family", lines ...

IF, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', in the "View My Relationship" link/button, the "System" indicates that there IS a "Relationship" between you and the individual/person; THEN, the "System" will allow you to, at least, "Request" the Work; PROVIVED, you indicate that there are NO close "Living" Relatives (eg. All "Deceased"); and, that is included/indicated in the immediate family in "Family Tree"; AND/OR, you may be requested to indicate/confirm such.

IF, in 'FamilySearch', in the "View My Relationship" link/button, the "System" indicates that there is NO "Relationship" between you and the individual/person; THEN, the "System" will still allow you to, at least, "Request" the Work; BUT, the "System" will indicate that there is NO "Relationship" between you and the individual/person; and, will not proceed, will not allow the process to continue, you will not be able to "Request" the Work.

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

Individuals for whom I can request temple ordinances
.
Can I do temple ordinances for my aunts, uncles, and cousins?
.
What is the 110-year policy, and why was it initiated?
.
How do I request ordinances for an ancestor who was born in the last 110 years?
.
Do I need permission from the closest living relative to do temple ordinances?
.
I cannot find any close living relatives to grant permission for ordinances
.
I can't reserve ordinances because the spouse was born less than 110 years ago
.
Family Tree will not let me reserve ordinances for my ancestor because the husband or wife has no dates
.
I hope this helps.

I agree with the answers from Tom and Brett, that, yes, of course you can complete all ordinances for your step-grandmother including sealing her to her parents.
To quote Tom: "Our responsibility is for our blood relatives and their spouse(s)."
And several of the articles mentioned by Brett say the same thing.
In addition, you can complete all ordinances for any descendants of your grandfather and his second wife as well as their spouses since you share a common ancestor, your grandfather, with those descendants.
You do, of course, have to follow the 110 year rule provisions. For example, if your step- grandmother is less than 110 years old and has any living spouse (if she remarried after your grandfather passed away), living siblings, or living children, you need permission from one of them to do the ordinances.
What you should not do, are any ordinances for your step-grandmother's parents, siblings, or other of her ancestors and relatives.
