When connecting from cell phone to cars USB port, do USB-C Cables with 100% silver cables sound better than cables that are not 100% silver?
Not sure about that, but 100% silver is very potent against werewolves.
As for USB connection, it's more important for the cable to have proper impedance. Disregarding subjective and psychoacoustics of conductor material. Material wise technical comparison, if they are the same proper impedance as copper cable, losses should be less in silver ones, but i'm not entirely sure at the length of the cable we use, that it matters.

Any USB-C cable will do, and sound the same. However one recommendation: Buy your GF/wife something nice for the money not spent on audiophoolery cables.
Digital is carried by analogue signals in the physical world.
All the USB interfaces I have ever tried, despite multiple levels of reclocking and galvanic isolation, still remain sensitive to cabling. Only subjectively of course, despite there being no obvious reason for this. It's clearly neither data, nor jitter to blame.
Just another small mystery to add to so many others. 😀
USB data signaling is 100% digital. Some of the supervisory signaling for detecting attach and detach is analog, but that does not figure into the data signaling. When carrying real-time data such as audio, USB operates in the isochronous mode that guarantees delivery time but does not support retry, as in case of an error. If retry upon error is required USB supports that mode also.
Jitter across the USB link should not be a problem, as the receive end implements an elastic buffer. Data written onto this buffer operates at the USB rate with the potential for variable latency. As long as the buffer does not suffer overrun or underrun data will not be lost. Jitter becomes an issue only for when the elastic buffer is read out and converted to analog via a D/A converter. However, most D/A converter clock circuits utilize low jitter clock sources without spread spectrum clocking.
