Has anyone heard of, or possibly ever seen, a 1943 steel cent that has a fairly distinct 3 over a 4? Was wondering if something like that, if it were to be certified as genuine, would be worth the fee of submitting.

Definitely need images, but ......
Nope, Haven't heard or seen one. It would need to be attributed before it could be "slabbed".
Yes, it would be worth the fees but the probability is next to nil it is genuine since that is a very well studied and collected year.

How could it happen? The dies are all hubbed during that time. The design could not happen. Sure there can be a single year difference back in the day, but not 9 years off. Just couldn't happen.

What did I miss?
Didn't the OP ask about 1943/4, which is a one year difference.
(Both are highly unlikely but 3/4 seems even less likely than 4/3)

Cliff , I think Coop meant that the last time a 4 was placed as a terminal digit on a working die to have been hubbed over by a 3 would hve been nine years previously

If the coin is copper, I can see someone trying to make a fake copper 1943 coin, but if it's steel WHY/HOW ?

It would have to be a doubled die, design hub doubling with the die hubbed with a 1944 hub and then a 1943 or vice versa. Same way they created the 18/7 quarter, the 42/1 dimes, 1943/2 nickel etc.
But no such coin has ever been reported so good quality images are needed.

Thank you Stoneman and Coop for your comparison collages and knowledge.
