I have some articles lying around and have decided to send some in to one magazine or the other. If published (a big if, I know) I would want a pen name used. So, in the email sending in my subscription, do I give them my real name, my intended pen name, both?

IME, they will let you know that your article has been accepted and whatever editing is necessary in advance. At that point you can tell them, ok, please publish under the pseudonym Sarah Doe.
If you are really nervous about hiding your identity ( ), you can always create a brand new email address and submit through there.

I dont mind the editors knowing my name, I just don't want it inadvertently printed. Is it too presumptuous to put a line in my email stating 'if you decide to accept this, please reach out as I'd want a pen name printed'?

I have nearly no knowledge of the publishing industry.. but if it was me... I would send article as an attachment to the email, with the pen name as the the author.
The Joy of Dusting
by: Mrs. Very Tidy
Everyday when I wake up.....
In the email explain that you are sending in the article (unsolicited) for publication under your pen name Mrs. Very Tidy.... I'm sure there are other things that would need to be said in this cover letter. Of course the email would have your name, addresses and phone number.

When the article is accepted, Mishpacha asks you what name you would like to use.

Write the pen name inside the file (on top next to title) the first time you submit it. Do not wait for them to respond before you tell them this info. It can happen that by that time your article could be proccessed in editing /proofreading and your request will get lost.
Happened to me once when I chose not write under my own name.
If you plan on getting paid then of course send your real info too when making the request to stay anonymous.
Good luck!
