Scenario: Updating a static HTML file hosted on AWS S3 bucket.

I read that a file (including static HTML) cannot be updated on AWS S3 bucket. Existing file needs to be deleted, new file with same name needs to be created with new content added to old.

"there is no 'partial blob' updating. You need to upload the entire new copy of the file" (source stackoverflow.com/questions/9517198/can-i-update-an-existing-amazon-s3-object)
So was thinking out loud, how will that impact SEO? (Basically whole static HTML file will be deleted and a new one will be created.)

Will the search engine crawl the newly created AWS HTML page (with old name) again in exact same manner had it been a scenario of static HTML file hosted on a webserver (e.g. Apache server)?

You may be misunderstanding the concept, here.

Files on S3 cannot be modified, but they can be overwritten, and overwriting a file does not require deleting the old file, first. You simply upload a new file with the same name.

The old file does not go away unless and until the new upload is complete and successful. A failed or partial overwrite of an existing object in S3 will never corrupt the existing object. If an overwrite fails due to any cause, such as losing your Internet connection during the upload, S3 discards the failed upload and the original object remains untouched.

Any downloads of the old file are allowed to finish, and downloads of even large files are not interrupted or corrupted if the file is overwritten with a download in progress.

There's no SEO impact potential, here.
