iOS devices use the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) to allow Car Kits to display incoming SMS messages.

My own Phone Amego includes a Mac_OS_X MAP client similar to what might be implemented by a Car Kit. The MAP spec is easily found on-line and specifies two roles: Message Server Equipment (MSE), and Message Client Equipment (MCE). For an iOS App, you would need to interact with the existing MAP MSE and I’m not sure this is possible outside of sending (or simulating) an incoming SMS to the phone.
Kind Regards,
