If an allied and enemy unit are selected with Star-Crossed and repulse is used in response to the selection of the enemy unit, does the allied unit still get sent back to hand?

Answer

No. Repulse counters the entire Star-Crossed, so neither unit returns to hand.

Repulse is legal here: Star-Crossed chooses your unit and no other friendly unit from your perspective (the second unit is enemy to you), so it meets Repulse's condition. A countered spell "does nothing and is cleared from the chain" () — this is different from the Retreat scenario, where the enemy target merely becomes unavailable and Star-Crossed partially resolves on the friendly unit (359.3.e.8). Countering negates the whole spell, not just the portion involving the Repulse target.
