I've been trying to find information connecting mania and standard star ratings. I know they are fundamentally different rating systems, but it would be nice to draw some parallels between them.

Mania Difficulty to Standard?

Mania's star rating system is so bad you wont draw any meaningful parallels. Star rating is directly related to object density which is a mostly ineffective way if estimating difficulty.
A complex 3 star map in mania can be hard as a 5 star map in mania.
Mania star rating system is not consistent with the difficulty and complexity of the maps.

4 key only
SR is broken for sure, but I feel like it’s sometimes exaggerated. A lot of 3* can be harder than 5*, and sometimes even ranked maps. I’ve played quite a few mania maps and I have a collection of ranked maps which are comparatively harder than other maps, and it’s only around 5-10% of the total.
1* mania takes around 1 week to FC
2* takes around a month maximum to S most charts
3* can take people anywhere from 1-6 months on average to S most charts
4* S on the comparatively easier songs usually from around 3-12 months
5* easy charts S at around 6-24 months
5* hard charts from 12-36 months
and from there on difficulty kind of breaks

it's hard to say as skills are different. theres players who put more effort into mania and are worse on it. theres players who put more effort into standard and are worse on it. comparing gamemodes skill-wise is probably the hardest thing to compare there is*.

as others have pointed out, you cant really connect the sr ratings for the two gamemodes because 1) sr in mania sucks and 2) standard has some skillsets that differ from mania or that mania just doesnt have, like aim and reading.
