Dear Client,
It is a religious issue. You can contact Hindu elders on this issue. As per Manu`s Smruthi as a Hindu you cannot marry step sister as origin is from your mother and you will treat her as sister with like or dislike.

Hi
Unfortunately, your mother's step husband's daughter will be your step sister and hence your relationship will come under prohibited degree of relationship and hence you cannot marry your step sister.
