This has been giving me so much trouble.

I reset the SMC twice and that seemed to "fix" the problem temporarily but now it's all back to the drawing board.

I've seen several other posts about this issue - what can I do? Will I need to replace the USB-C ports?

Even though SMC controls the touchbar, some USB is in play, so this would be NVRAM (or reboot.) notice among others:

USB Device: Apple T2 Bus

USB Device: Touch Bar Backlight

USB Device: Touch Bar Display

USB Device: Apple T2 Controller

still not charging

I see know this is a charging issue NOT a touchbar issue...

If your USB-C power adapter isn't charging your Mac notebook

Hi Kappy. I already reset the SMC... I was told it would take at least 6 weeks to diagnose the problem. Is this the only way?

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar Does not Charge

Plug in the power adapter.
Press and hold the Shift, Control, and Option keys together, then press (do not hold) the Power button once. (Do not release the other keys.)
Release other three keys at the same time.
Press the Power button again.

If this does not fix the problem, then the mechanism is defective. Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If needed find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple.
