no, they do not and cannot.

SOIA is not authorized visual.
I've been saying many times now, a VISUAL APPROACH IS NOT AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE.

Parallel visual approaches have nothing to do with SOIA.

Note on the FMS Bridge Visual 28R:

Closely-spaced parallel visual approaches may be in progress to Rwy 28L utilizing ISFO ILS 28L localizer.
Notes from TIPP TOE VISUAL if you're shooting the visual on 28L:

CAUTION: AIRCRAFT OPERATING WITHIN 500' TO PARALLEL RWY- POSSIBLE WAKE TURBULENCE

NOTE: Closely spaced parallel visual approaches may be in progress to Runway 28R utilizing the SFO R-095. In the event of a go-around on Runway 28L, turn left heading 265°, or on Runway 28R, turn right heading 310°, climb and maintain 3000, or as directed by Air Traffic Control.
If criticizing pilots, at least try to get basic facts right.
