I just tried with "guix install lem" and "lem -i sdl2" worked as well.

Something I noticed is that lem doesn't seem to provide a desktop entry, 
so it doesn't show up in the list of applications (in GNOME Shell, for 
example).

And this error is solved by installing "xdg-utils" in the same 
environment (it provides "xdg-open"). So:

   guix shell lem xdg-utils
   lem -i sdl2

And then clicking on "Getting started" will open a remote guide in the 
default web browser.
