I'm going to use TV Logic on this one. There are four phases to TV Shows like these:

1. A "go-happy" time where the show just uses scenarios that are hardly related to eachother to make fun episodes. For Lab Rats, this was the time before they met Marcus. SU had one about 10 episodes long, so it really didn't take full advantage of it. FYI Steven Universe's ended the second Steven picked up the mirror that contained Lapis.

2. An intensified plotline time where a new character or set of characters are introduced that have something to do with the main plot all along but you never saw them before. SU is kinda in this phase right now.

3. A "true antogonist" that has a huge army that is planning on taking over the world, destroying the world, etc. The main heroes have to stop them in order to save the world, the universe, etc. Lab Rats already went through this phase when Adam, Bree, and Chase blasted Krane off out of the atmosphere. I'm making my prediction that Sardonyx is that "true antogonist", and maybe she is the three Diamonds fused together.

4. This depends on how good the TV show was. If the TV Show is a super-awesome well thought out show like Lab Rats, you start over at Phase 1, sometimes with a spinoff series. If you flop on your belly like I'm predicting SU will, either quit on the spot or run a few crud episodes and get cancelled.

Or maybe we're all wrong and Sardonyx is just the whale from Rose's Room.
