I don't think the satellites periodically reset their clocks. Rather, I think they are just programmed with formulas that constantly counter the relativistic effects. Otherwise the resets would have to happen quite frequently (literally every two minutes). They need to compensate for ~8000 nanoseconds per day, but need to stay within ~10 nanoseconds to work.
