Yeah, nesting quoting levels in shell is kind of a bear.

Since you're using bash, you can get bash to do the work for you,
via multiple iterations of the ${variable@Q} construct.
$ SQLCMD='CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" SCHEMA pg_catalog;'
$ echo $SQLCMD
CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" SCHEMA pg_catalog;
$ echo ${SQLCMD@Q}
'CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" SCHEMA pg_catalog;'
-- not too exciting so far, but wrap it into another layer of quoting:
$ SHCMD="psql -h 127.0.0.1 -d test_db -p 5432 -c ${SQLCMD@Q}"
$ echo $SHCMD
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -d test_db -p 5432 -c 'CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" SCHEMA
pg_catalog;'
$ echo ${SHCMD@Q}
'psql -h 127.0.0.1 -d test_db -p 5432 -c '\''CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"
SCHEMA pg_catalog;'\'''
-- and now your answer is:
$ echo ssh -l postgres -2 -C -p 2022 192.168.0.70 ${SHCMD@Q}
ssh -l postgres -2 -C -p 2022 192.168.0.70 'psql -h 127.0.0.1 -d test_db -p
5432 -c '\''CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" SCHEMA pg_catalog;'\'''
You could, of course, just use the end result of that -- but it's
probably better to have a shell script recalculate it on the fly
given the desired SQL command as input.
