That pin is called the hand torsion lever pin.
It, and the torsion spring that lives in the middle of the trigger, is what keeps tension on the hand, as it rotates the cylinder.
Very necessary.
Make sure the spring isn't lost.
Its a very little coil spring with arms in both directions.

So, it's a spring with one arm that rides up against the missing pin? Sounds to me like the diameter of the missing pin wouldn't be critical.
But...

Monkeying around with a replacement pin on your busted hand, trying to drop in an entire new hand when you don't know anything about fitting it, or just ignoring the problem, are inadvisable.

...my understanding is the hand is something that does need to be properly fit. Sounds like you need to find a gunsmith competent in S&W revolvers.
