I generally prep and rub pork butts/shoulders the night before I plan to smoke them and keep then in the reefer overnight.
On occasions, I've not been able to smoke them the next day (bad weather, family emergencies, whatever) and left them in the reefer for up to 3 days without ill effect. I wouldn't advise that as a rule, but it certainly didn't harm the pork.
