We have a hosted application where clients do not get SQL Access. We have a new client that needs access to SSMS to write queries for reports. We are installing SSMS on a utility box for the client to log into and use. The clients accounts will be in the data_reader group. I want to force all queries to run READ UNCOMMITTED So not to cause blocking of the application with badly written queries

    What is SSEM? Are you talking about Enterprise Manager? Are you running SQL Server 2000?

If by SSEM you mean SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), there is an option you can set when logged in as this user to run as READ UNCOMMITTED by default:

Features like Resource Governor can control a lot of things, but I don't think there's a way to hard-code isolation level for all queries a user submits...

Though, this post might be useful:
