There's still a button, and two blinds. Doesn't matter if there's a dedicated dealer or not.

so the person who is NOT the button will be the SB and the button will be BB

He is saying it switches when you are down to 2 in tournament paly. I never noticed in all my time playing online and watching it on tv. My home games are ring games so I havent gotten to it but I have won a home game type tourny and didnt think we switched it up. Maybe we did it wrong but I dont know.
 
Simply put, the dealer is small blind in heads up play. Watch any tournament online or on TV if you want visual proof.
 
Just googled it, first 5 links all say the dealer is the small blind. One gives a great reason... if the dealer were the big blind and got to act last, it would be too powerful of a position.

Exactly. Dealer is SB in heads-up play. It's the only fair way to do things.
