It sounds like you have things a little mixed up. Here's what happens as I understand it:

Between the Alpha and Beta Attractor Fields, Kurisu only becomes a member of SERN in the Alpha world lines, and she only dies in 2010 in the Beta world lines.

Before the split between Alpha and Beta on July 28th, 2010, she had received during the spring a letter from her father telling her to come to his time machine conference. That led her to start writing her thesis on time machines, hoping to share it with her father, and to arrange her trip to Japan (based off of the Audio Series Laboratory Member Number drama CDs). At this time it is already plausible that she caught the attention of SERN and the Committee of 300 as her university's neurological research is probably of interest to the Committee of 300 and SERN has Echelon tracking all electronic communication about time machines.

Alpha

As you know, the time machine crash cancels Nakabachi's time travel conference on July 28th, and since Kurisu never meets her father she is not killed in 2010. Already a few days earlier on July 23rd, the first D-mail that Okabe accidently sent about Kurisu being stabbed gets logged in the Echelon database. Most likely because SERN had Echelon monitoring for any information concerning Makise Kurisu as well and also upon reading it they would have noticed the future send date (the 28th) of the mail. In the loop of time this brings Okabe and his group to the attention of SERN.

A few days after the canceled conference Kurisu leaves the printed copy of her time machine thesis in the ruined conference room of the Radio Building. This gets picked up by Moeka who has been observing Kurisu on FB's orders (based on History's Stongest Slight Fever manga). Eventually, the Rounders attack the Lab and Kurisu is kidnapped to France and forced to join SERN (as is further described in The Distant Valhalla short story). Like you said, Suzuha grows up hostile to her as the world knows Kurisu as the "Mother of Time Machines" and tries to assasinate her -though the operation fails-. Kurisu eventually dies in 2034. This is an attractor field in which Kurisu accepts the futility of fighting against the world line convergence that won't let her escape SERN, and lives waiting for her death while placing her hope in Okabe.

Beta

As you know, in Beta she is killed when her father steals the time machine thesis that she wrote. -Now I don't know how Steins;Gate 0 is going to spin it, since it will have a new scenario, but it seems like WWIII will still be a race to build a time machine war and like her Amadeus A.I. copy will still be crucial.-

So, Nakabachi takes the paper with him to Russia and that leaves SERN and several other forces scrambling to get the digital copies of Kurisu's research data that was left behind (based on the Epigraph Trilogy). This is why saving Kurisu and discrediting Nakabachi's claims when he defects to Russia are important to preventing the WWIII time machine war from breaking out.

Suzuha has only ever heard of the importance of saving Kurisu from the other lab members, so she has no hostility towards her and, of course, never meets/has met her.

If none of the time traveling and D-mails had occured and she somehow survived the attack from her father without Okabe time travelling to rescue her

Well, since the problem with time travel is that it always seems to beget a loop in the SG universe, I doubt that she ever could end up with SERN without time travel occuring, even the very beginning, the first pass if you will, of the Alpha AF loop -which is undepicted- has its roots in the Beta AF and was still triggered by Okabe's D-mail being discovered (for more explanation). Also, except for the Steins Gate world line, the Beta Attractor Field converges to Kurisu's death, so it's unlikely she would survive in the Beta AF without Okabe's interference.

However, if she did survive, since SERN most likely was keeping an eye on her, it's possible she could be forced into doing research for them in a Beta world line, if the Committee of 300 would approve of them taking her away from where she is conducting neurological research -Following my earlier assumption that the C300 are interested because her research area is similar to the research done into brainwashing in Chaos;Head-. Seeing as how in the Steins Gate, SERN has given up  trying to create a time machine by 2019 and Kurisu is part of the resistance, I think it is unlikely that SERN would ever manage to get their hands on her in Beta world lines where she survives.

Wow, that, um, got long. I hope it helps, though. ^^;
