The Shield Push feat lets you push a target one square as part of a fighter's combat challenge, and combat challenge is an immediate interrupt you can take if the enemy shifts. So if they start a shift, the fighter can interrupt it and if they hit, push them 1 square. Does that invalidate the shift? If so, does it always invalidate the shift, or only if the target's intended destination is no longer within range of a 5 foot shift? Or can the target still take a 5 foot shift but pick a new destination square?

Only if the target can't complete their action ... i.e. shift into their original destination.
Are you sure you need to declare to where you're shifting? Unless you're pushed into difficult terrain or something else that prevents shifting it seems to be like the opponent would be able to shift after you pushed them back.

Yes. The interrupt doesn't occur until the particulars of the triggering action are being acted upon.
Much like if the interrupt were triggered by an attempt at a melee attack, the power and target must be already selected.
