Hands-off standing orders are typically fine with the SEC and are actually preferred to actively trading if there's even a remote possibility of being exposed to insider info. But, I'm not a lawyer and this isn't advise. Talk to your lawyer and investment advisor about any compliance issues.

The problem is unless they account for it, their trade could trigger during a 'blackout period' (before earnings) when they shouldn't be executing any trades at all.

Blackout periods have no SEC standing. They're purely a construction by your employer to avoid the appearance of trading on MNPI. Standing order trades (e.g., rule 105b-1) can execute at any time relative to earnings.
