Apple has finally released standalone updaters for the Mojave and Catalina Security Updates :
Catalina 2021-001 Security Update
Mojave 2021-001 Security Update
Mojave 2021-002 Security Update
Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update

Note that the Catalina Supplemental Update is still labelled "2021-001 Security Update" on the Apple Support Download site.
A supplemental update for Security Update 2021-001... Glad Big Sur should finally get rid of the confusion.

I would say there will be no great confusion if Apple just called it "Catalina 2021-002 Security Update" instead of Supplemental Update. It is Apple which contributes to this unnecessary confusion.
 
Backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner.
Downloaded, Installed the Security Update.
3 Reboots: Insured the drive with "install" in the name was selected each time in clover until it was no longer an option.

Success!

Even editors on Wikipedia were confused by Apple that I had to fix.
 
Clover 5119
Supplemental Update that came just after Catalina 2021-001 security update seems to have installed smoothly.
 
I used the standalone updates (Mojave 2021-002 / Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental (actually supplemental to 2021-001)) to install on my Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina 10.15.7 installations. No apparent issues so far. Installed onto a test disk using my third system and then cloned the installations back to my main system using SuperDuper. I use Clover 4920 for Mojave and Clover 5119 for Catalina.

Run the updater on Mojave / Catalina and reboot when requested. When the Clover screen appears choose the option with "MacOS Install". May need to do it more than once.

The Mojave 2021-002 Security Update includes the contents of and supersedes the 2021-001 update. So there was no need to install 2021-001 before 2021-002.

Likewise, the Catalina "10.15.7 Supplemental Update" includes the contents of and supersedes the 2021-001 update. No need to install 2021-001 before the supplemental update.
 
Used standalone installer for Mojave (2021-002) with Clover 4934 on my system, no issues. Build 18G8022
 
I had random shutdowns while installing with software update.
Smooth install with the standalone updater. Catalina 19H524.
