Is it okay to inject graphite powder into an ignition lock cylinder? Just wondering if the electrical conductivity of the graphite could cause a short circuit in the lock.

Yea graphite is conductive, but most and maybe all ignition locks would not be hurt by it.

It certainly would be much better than WD40 or any other oil based substance.
