What would the difference be between an 1894 “semi-deluxe” compared to a “deluxe”

I have always thought that a semi deluxe has checkered, with standard wood and a deluxe has checkering and fancy, 3X wood.

What would a gun with an uncheckered pistol grip and standard wood be considered?

The difference is in the grade of the walnut stocks, and the checkering. The “Fancy” (deluxe) rifles have 2X or better American Black Walnut, and H-pattern checkering or higher. The semi-deluxe guns typically have I-pattern checkering, but might have no checkering, and the stocks are plain (straight) grain walnut.
