I was intending to bottle yesterday however time did not permit and so I only managed to transfer beer into bottling bucket and add boiled sugar solution.
My question is can I just carry on bottling 24 hours later? Will the sugar solution still be evenly distributed and equally suspended in the beer or would the sugar molecules have rejoined and gravitated towards the bottom? If so should I re rack and start again?
Grateful for any answers. Thanks.

It'll be even, but there'll be a bit of fermentation starting, too. It'll be dependent on how cold it is, how much yeast dropped out before racking, etc. If you knew the final gravity and could measure it really well you could work out how much of the sugar had been used because typically priming levels add 2 gravity points - but I'd just say bottle it.
