Hey there , I faced a similar issue just yesterday with my M1 macbook air, These are the steps I took to get it working for me

Step 1

Updated my package.json file

{
  "name": "hardhat-simple-storage",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "^2.0.0",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan": "^3.0.4",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle": "^2.0.0",
    "chai": "^4.2.0",
    "dotenv": "^16.0.1",
    "ethereum-waffle": "^3.0.0",
    "ethers": "^5.0.0",
    "hardhat": "^2.9.7",
    "hardhat-gas-reporter": "^1.0.8",
    "solidity-coverage": "^0.7.21"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "solc": "^0.8.17"
  }
}

Step 2

yarn add solc

Step 3

yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . simplestorage.sol

Also Check for Typo in the naming of your SimpleStorage.sol If you have named it correctly or not

This does not seem like a code-bug; thus, discussions are more apt (also for others to refer to the solution)--please close here and post there!

yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . simplestorage.sol
