Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide largely just covers the worshipers and currently there are worshipers of Amaunator and Lathander. How that's resolved is entirely up to the DM. If you want a hardline "this is canon" answer though, after the Time of Troubles when many of the gods died, other gods who picked up their portfolio continued to answer prayers directed to the dead god for a time. There's no reason you can't explain the continued prayers to dead gods being answered in this way.Personally I don't think this needs answering and unless they really ramp up the output of the Forgotten Realms supplements I wouldn't want to see pages wasted on this in a D&D supplement. There's enough prior info for DMs to work out most of what happened. As for how the dead gods returned, the only explanation I know of is Mystra was dispersed in the Weave. When the parts of her power (embedded into her Chosen) was used to restore the Weave she was able to coalesce and become whole again. She then went and rescued Azuth from hell. Beyond that I think most dead being returned are explained as the Tablets of Fate restoring them.Here's a question though: How many gods were 100% definitely killed? All I know of is a couple of drow deities and Mystra. Azuth remained alive (but had his divine power sucked out of him and was trapped in hell). The rest were maybe half a dozen "these two gods were actually one and the same" (which can be seen as propaganda by the more powerful church that successfully converted another churches worshipers) while some others (like Oghma) simply went missing or others were simply unmentioned.</blockquote>
