Information

Single sign-on in GitHub authenticates to a specific organization in GitHub and does not replace the authentication of GitHub itself. Therefore, if the user's github.com session has expired, you may be asked to authenticate with GitHub's ID/password during the single sign-on process

By using SSO, a user could automatically join the GitHub organization even if not invited previously

To sum up, on GitHub SSO allows to access an organization easily but does not replace the manual authentication of the user
