They don't apply. Delivering this kind of thing is obviously allowed in the US, so there's presumably no mutual criminality.

I'm reasonably sure several articles and uploaded artworks violate various US state regulations on adult content, though the states would be idiots trying to enforce them against Wikipedia; that'd only increase the risk of some kind of higher court declaring the law unconstitutional.

Geographically speaking, about half the US has "think of the kids" laws that are similar to the UK's.
