I'm playing ghyrson starn, kelermorph, and i ping a 1/1, does ghyrson still deal 2 damage to the 1/1, if so does it happen before the 1 damage was dealt or after?
If not does it just fizzle out because of a invalid target as a result of the 1/1 dying?

Ghyrson has a triggered ability that goes on the stack only after the 1 damage is dealt, and if it was to a creature with only one toughness, after the creature has been destroyed, due to state-based actions. The ability still goes on the stack and resolves, but it won't be able to deal damage to a nonexistent object, so if for example, you had given Ghyrson lifelink, you wouldn't gain 2 life.
