On the capital loss carryover worksheet for the 2021 tax year, line 4
says "Enter the smaller of line 2 or line 3b"
(The worksheet is at
<https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sd#idm140303378761488> in
HTML, and this line is the same in the PDF instructions.)
Only problem is, I can't find any line 3b, neither in the worksheet
nor in Schedule D. Is that a typo for "line 2 or line 3", or have I
missed something?
(The PDF instructions for the 2020 tax year have the same typo, if
it's a typo.)

It's a typo. It should say "line 2 or line 3."

Great, Bob! Thanks! I think that's the first typo I've ever noticed
