The cross section for the \(e^+e^-\to K_SK_L\) process is measured in the center-of-mass energy range from 1000 MeV to 1100 MeV in the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 \(e^+e^-\) collider. The measurement is carried out in the \(K_S\to 2\pi^0\) decay mode. Data with an integrated luminosity of 20 pb\(^{-1}\) recorded in 2018 at 18 energy points are used in the analysis. The systematic uncertainty in the measured cross section at the maximum of the \(\phi\) resonance is 0.9%. The mass, width of the \(\phi\) meson, and the product of the branching fractions \(B(\phi\to K_SK_L)B(\phi\to e^+e^-)\) are determined from the fit to the cross-section energy dependence.
