Is it safe to call SDL_net functions on another thread (other than the main thread)? And are there any rules about it? I could not find any information about it when I searched for it.

Yes, it is safe. In fact, some operations should be done in a separate thread.
I looked into the TCP part of SDL_net. In particular, any call to
must be done on a separate thread if you want to avoid blocking the render thread, missed timings and windows that are not responding anymore.
However, it should be avoided that two or more threads meddle with the same socket at the same time. Make sure to have the threads communicate with eachother properly to avoid bugs caused by concurrency. Use mutexes, locks, etc. to make sure of that.
