In the event that private keys have to be used to claim BCC/BCH in a Bitcoin Cash wallet, how exactly should one proceed?
I know how to use the export private keys function in Electrum to generate unencrypted .csv, or .json files showing addresses and their associated private keys.
Does simply copying and pasting those addresses and private keys into the import function of a Bitcoin Cash wallet do the trick?
Do you import your private keys with their corresponding addresses individually, or all together?

Step-by-step, how should this be done? Expert opinion please!

You can simply copy and paste each private key to be imported into a Bitcoin Cash wallet. You would do each address individually or they might allow you to import multiple at the same time. Either way would work.

Just be sure to move your Electrum funds to a new wallet with a new seed after the fork to ensure their safety.
