My 4s is having the Invalid SIM problem and I know if I go to the ATT store, I can get a new sim card. Do I need to restore my phone to do this? I don't want to be denied a free sim card and have to pay for a new one.

Maybe hide your jailbreak apps/ themes and they shouldn't be able to tell they don't have any business snooping around your phone anyway.

Is the SIM definitely the problem?

I would say so, I've heard about plenty of other 4s' having this problem and a new SIM fixes it

You don't have to have your phone with you to request a new sim card from your carrier. Also, your carrier shouldn't care if you're jailbroken. Only Apple would care.

What I did, is I bought a prepaid Go phone from Walmart, took it home and took the SIM card out. Cut it up to make it a mini SIM card, put it in my iPhone and I worked fine. Took the phone back the next day and got my money :D
