I don't see how a small amount of sodium is going to cause elevated blood
pressure absent other pathologies such as kidney problems, effects of
medications, etc.

For normal people, the link between BP and sodium is very tenuous. Getting
enough potassium is very important and if you eat paleo you are going to get
much more potassium than you otherwise would on SAD.
