JWST has enabled detecting and spatially resolving the heavily dust-attenuated stellar populations of sub-millimeter galaxies, revealing detail that was previously inaccessible. In this work we construct a sample of 289 sub-millimeter galaxies with detailed joint ALMA and JWST constraints in the COSMOS field. Sources are originally selected using the SCUBA-2 instrument and have archival ALMA observations from various programs. Their JWST NIRCam imaging is from COSMOS-Web and PRIMER. We extract multi-wavelength photometry in a manner that leverages the unprecedented near-infrared spatial resolution of JWST, and fit the data with spectral energy distribution models to derive photometric redshifts, stellar masses, star-formation rates and optical attenuation. The sample has an average z=2.6, A_V=2.5, SFR=270 and log(M*)=11.1. There are 81 (30%) galaxies that have no previous optical/near-infrared detections, including 75% of the z>4 sub-sample (n=28). The faintest observed near-infrared sources have the highest redshifts and largest A_V=4. In a preliminary morphology analysis we find that ~10% of our sample exhibit spiral arms and 5% host stellar bars, with one candidate bar found at z>3. Finally, we find that the clustering of JWST galaxies within 10 arcseconds of a sub-mm galaxy is a factor of 2 greater than what is expected based on either random clustering or the distribution of sources around any red galaxy irrespective of a sub-mm detection.

A multi-wavelength investigation of spiral structures in $z > 1$ galaxies with JWST
Spiral arms in z~1.5 galaxies show optical-to-near-infrared flux peak offsets of 0.2 to 0.8 kpc, consistent with density waves, tidal interactions, and clumpy star formation as seen locally.

Explaining the "too massive" high-redshift galaxies in JWST data: numerical study of three effects and a simple relation
A top-heavy IMF in stellar population models can reduce inferred masses of bright JWST galaxies by an order of magnitude, quantified by a new exponential fit.

No evidence (yet) for increased star-formation efficiency at early times
A constant, halo-mass-dependent star-formation efficiency, combined with younger stellar populations and dust, can reproduce the observed galaxy UV luminosity function and stellar mass function at z=6-13, so no increa...
