You will not even have any self employment to pay. If your
botton line is -0- or less there is nothing to pay.

I just started a job as a "courier" using my own car (FYI, a
Geo Metro) as an 'independent contractor.' I'm not sure what
I'm making yet on local runs, but last Friday I made two
runs to LA from San Diego, was paid $264, and the mileage
was 437 miles [ which makes a mileage deduction of $211.94,
correct? ]. But what happens if, at the end of the year, the
standard mileage deduction exCEEDS what I'm being paid? I
only have to pay the Self-employment tax?

Thank you, people.

I had to make SOMEthing. If you have a job opening for an
exemplary customer service person, I'll seriously consider
it.
