It appears that skp to step conversion is predominantly searched by users who need to export content from SketchUp's SKP format to STEP product format, often when they do not have access to the professional version version of the tool as well.
Exporting SketchUp's SKP format to STP format
SketchUp does not support STEP format natively, so it's not that simple, even if you can access it. The usual workaround is to export the SKP format to one of the exchange formats that can be used in other software, typically Collada DAE. Once you have your 3D data in an exchange format, the free Blender should be sufficient to export your model to STP format.
How to convert skp to stp without SketchUP?
In case you cannot access SketchUP, the only alternative is to use some alternative professional 3D modeling tool that supports SKP format. Native support for SKP format is rare, so it is usually added via external plugins, for example in AutoCAD, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Daz Studio and possible many others.
A viable alternative is to use professional 3D conversion solutions, such as CrossManager, Autoconverter, and others, considering that SKP format is typically well-supported.
Is there any free software that supports the SKP format?
Unfortunately, not. If you know someone who owns SketchUp, it would be best to ask them to export your .skp file to exchange format, so you can use it with a different software.
