My sister (15y) had this clash with one of her “friends” and now the whole group is going after her, telling her these negative, toxic things. I feel this will have an impact for her in the long run.
I am supporting her and telling her not to listen, talk, nor interact with them out of self respect and to let it play out. She followed my advice, but it still hasn’t stopped. She is scared they might bully her.

Should I take this in my own hands or let her figure it out and solve it herself?

I would ask her how involved she'd like you to get and remind her that you're trustable & all open ears when she wants to talk.

Growing up I went through sh*t I had to handle myself and although it made me tough I would have loved to be reassured that there was someone looking out for me, I would have had far fewer scars

Let her figure it out it’s a part of growing up. Just try to pay attention to the line between the ‘mean girl’ highschool attitude she is facing and make sure it doesn’t cross over into malice (i.e comments like ‘kill yourself’ or any physical abuse would fall in this category)

I am so sorry to hear this. I really like C1’s advice.
