Thinking about swapping out Searing Blaze for Skewer the Critics in modern burn. I think I like it better. Any reason not to?

That depends. Are you playing Boros or Mono-R?

Boros. I just feel like since I’ll be dealing damage from multiple sources after turn one, another three damage for one is better.

I'd keep Searing Blaze personally. The card is either an all star or a dud. The ability to 2-for-1 is huge though.

With the recent banning of KCI, there is a new top dog in Modern and it is UW control. I would say that double conditionality (opponent having a creature and having a land drop) of SB keeps it way below StC.
