Note that the partialPlot() function also returns the x-y pairs being plotted, so you can work from there if you wish.  As to SD, my guess is you want some sort of confidence interval or band around the curve?  I do not know of any theory to produce that, but that may well just be my ignorance.

Thank you Andy.  I obviously neglected to read into the help file and,
frustratingly, could have known this all along.  However, I am still
interested in knowing the relative maximum value in the partial plots via
query instead of visual interpretation (and possibly getting at other
statistical measures like standard deviation).  Is it possible to do this? 
I will keep investigating, but would appreciate a hint in the right
direction if you have time.
