According to a comment he made to a "pseudo"-biographer, yes he did.
It wasn't the same time that Milch places him there - rather, it was in the fall of 1876, that he said he arrived and he stayed until the spring of 1877. The show has him arriving there some time later in 1877.
And one of the things he did in Deadwood was, apparently, offer to be sheriff.
He also apparently worked a timber claim - but not one that he won in a card game.
But the reality is that there is very little evidence of Earp's whereabouts in that period of his life, and no hard evidence he was ever in Deadwood or in Deadwood from 1876-1877. His conversations with Lake occurred 50 years later.

Wyatt Earp Deadwood

The OK Corral is still in Tombstone, Arizona.
That notwithstanding, in late 1876, Wyatt Earp may have left his job as deputy marshall in Dodge City, KS, and with his brother Morgan done some travelling and prospecting in the Deadwood, SD area. Deadwood was little more than a mining camp in 1876.
Wyatt was back in Dodge City in early 1877 and stayed there until 1878 when he left for Tombstone, AZ.
So I guess the best answer to your question is: Maybe.
Wyatt Earp spent most of his time in the dessert Southwest, but he did rome as far as Alaska. So it's entirely possible that he did spend some time in Deadwood, SD, but if he did, nothing of importance happened while he was there.

The OK Corral was in Deadwood. Actually, I guess its still there, since its apparently a tourist attraction. So, yes, Wyatt Earp was there.

No, that was Wild Bill Hickock. Earp hung around Kansas, Arizona, and is now in California.

My mistake. I checked it out. Yep, he was there.
The O.K. corral is in Tombstone, AZ.

I don't know. I'm not familiar with the history of the American west.
