See

Most UEFI implementations provide BIOS emulation so you can choose to install and boot old operating systems that expect a BIOS instead of UEFI, so they’re backwards compatible.

Why did you wait two years to follow up to your question?

If you really have UEFI only (coming one day, but most systems today have a "legacy" option), then you can first load a hypervisor, and then load SME server in a VM.
