Depends on the type of AU and how the author deals with it, really. It's easier in some ways to do a sci-fi AU of a mundane/Earth-based canon than it is to do a mundane/Earth-based AU of a sci-fi canon, but it's not impossible. Depending on the genre and setting of the AU, you can tailor character backgrounds to get the essences of canon backstories, though yes, they're not going to be aliens. It's the same problem you have with Spock in Trek AUs or elves/dwarves in LotR AUs. Doing a mundane AU is going to involve some tricky negotiating to keep the essence of their stories without having the same species range or having space travel and other worlds to explain it.

I do think there are plenty of translatable elements in their stories, though. Teyla as a local leader dealing with an incursive military expedition who inspire a loyalty that she has to balance against that of her own people, Ronon as the remnant of a destroyed people helping strangers against a common enemy ... those are not without precedent even in wholly Earth-based stories.
