The 51-year-old man is accused of placing the fake QR codes, used to sign people into venues to help with contact tracing, over real ones at South Plympton businesses on Sunday.
He is due to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Wednesday charged with two counts of obstructing operations relating to COVID-19 under the state's Emergency Management Act.
He faces a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted.
The man was also allegedly caught with a double-side knife at his Edwardstown home.
South Australian police said no personal data had been released through the fake QR codes.
