Don't know what you mean by this.

There is still a problem in that this creates an extra back-link
from the Bibliography entry, pointing to the Table-of-Contents.
In a sense this is correct; but personally I don't think you
want this, as the TOC links should go to the chapters & sections,
not directly to bib-entries.

The other deficiency is that you need to know the citation number
to use, if you expect this to show up in the bookmark.
This is a real pain if you are continually adding extra bib-entries.

Here's a way to fix both of these.

1.  in the preamble put these definitions:

\makeatletter
 \DeclareRobustCommand{\pdfcite}[1]{%
  \expandafter\reducedcite\expandafter{\csname b@#1\endcsname}}
 \def\reducedcite#1{%
  \expandafter\ifx\expandafter\relax#1\relax\else
  \expandafter\doreducedcite#1\fi}
 \def\doreducedcite#1[#2]#3#4#5{{[#5]}}
\makeatother


2. include an  \addtocontents  as follows:

\addtocontents{toc}{\let\cite\pdfcite}
\tableofcontents


3. use the new command \pdfcite  as follows:

\chapter{test\texorpdfstring{\cite{SYS}}{\pdfcite{SYS}}}

or

\chapter[another test{\pdfcite{SYS}}]{another test\cite{SYS}}


The attached PDF shows how this should look, after running
LaTeX on your (modified) source file.
