Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support
Scroll down to the SMS section:
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages that you send and receive on your iPhone can also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. You can also reply to your contacts from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac.
Otherwise, no, the iPad is not capable of sending SMS messages on its own.
