He can pick up the heavy things
He can left the heavy things
Can you pick up that table?

Pick-up has a few meanings, but one of them is “to lift”. In your sentences the meaning is the same.

If so, then and in that case
Examples:

If we want to have fun this weekend, then we need to study today.

Do you want to have fun this weekend? If so, you’d better study today.

(Notice that the “if” and “then” are separated in the first sentence. “If.....then” is the same as “if so” in meaning, but the placement is different.

We are planning to have a lot of fun this weekend.
In that case, you’d better start studying now.

‘In that case’ could be replaced with ‘if so’ and keep the same meaning.

Yes.

Pick-up and lift can mean the same exact thing. But only if used that way because pick-up has other meanings as well.

If .........then, is the same as “if so” in meaning. It just requires different sentence structure.
