Do special rules of order supersede what is stated in bylaws as it relates to quorum?

No.  In fact a motion for a special rule of order that conflicts with the bylaws would not be in order at all.

Special Rules of Order may be used to supersede rules in the parliamentary authority, but not in the bylaws.
