What steps can be taken to sanitize and/or cleasne and deodorize a
poured concrete basement floor after experiencing a septic tank/waste
water backup?

Should this be done professionally ? Perhaps, an insurance claim ?

Our basement is an unfinished space. I have removed the soaked
piece of carpet that was there, swepped the solids and mopped up the
waste liquid.

Bleach should be adequate. Follow with a plain old soap and water mopup.
not necessarily in that order.

Laundry bleach kills most anything, spray it on with a garden sprayer or
mop it, if you mop and scrub use laundry soap and dilute the bleach.

Bleach and water. 10% bleach 90% water is adequate if using Clorox
Industrial grade (5% active ingredient).

Cheaper bleach mix it stronger.

Spread the bleach water with a wet mop and let it sit for 3 minutes. Use a
dry mop to pick it up.

This would even kill the AIDS virus if it were present.

Repeat with plain water if desired.
