Please help - 2 jobs?!

So I’ve called as many people I can think of to help including HMRC but it’s not clear still on where I stand.
I have 2 jobs, one is my main employer where I receive SMP from and intend to take 9/12 months leave. My other job is part time a few hours a week in the evenings on social media but I am employed in this job aswell. My question is… if I return to my second employer around 1 month after giving birth and receive my normal monthly income of around £300 will this affect the SMP I am receiving from my main employer?
I only want to return back so soon to my second employer as the work is based around my lifestyle and can be done whenever I have spare time in the evenings and it’s not as demanding as my main job.
I’m just nervous as I don’t want to return back and start getting paid and then the gov stop my SMP as that will still be my main income source.
Please if anyone has any advice or experience with this , let me know 🙏🏼 I go on mat leave in a few months and really want to know. Thanks
