Mag 12 Safe for submersible return pump?

You may have an easier time finding nylon ones.

If you're very lucky, you'll find SS screws at a local hardware store. I had to go to a marine supplies store to find SS last time I had a need for them (and I'm not sure how many marine supply stores you would have there in Calgary =P )

Would nylon screws keep up with the constant vibrations with the pump? Or would they wear out real quick, and I would need to keep a constant supply?

Any Rona should have a large selection of SS screws, but I have never worried about a tiny bit of rust , but as Delphinus said clean off the rust and a dab of silicone will do

I had a Mag 12 running as a submersible for 2 or 3 years without any trouble. I noticed a slight bit of rust but it seemed it was just a very fine coating on the surface. The screws did not appear to be breaking down at all.

Ditto. Just replace the cover hardware as required.
