Reconstructing a three-dimensional left-ventricular (LV) endocardial surface from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data is challenging when supervision is available on only a small number of axial slices. Through-plane geometry is weakly constrained, and automatically generated two-dimensional masks can propagate segmentation errors into the recovered shape. We present MR-RS-SDFR, a per-case implicit signed distance field (SDF) framework that reconstructs a continuous LV surface from a CMR volume and sparse axial weak masks. The method first builds a cross-slice SDF initialization from axial and longitudinal geometric cues and then refines the field using two complementary signals: MRI edge-field normal alignment, which provides an image-derived boundary cue independent of the weak masks, and differentiable reslice Dice and contour consistency, which preserve agreement with the observed planes. We evaluate three weak-mask generators -- LOO TransUNet, LOO nnU-Net, and an off-the-shelf Medical SAM3 model used without MM-WHS-specific training or fine-tuning -- and five sparsity levels from 4 to 64 axial planes. In the sparse-16 setting, final MR-RS-SDFR reconstruction reaches 0.928 Dice and 3.80mm HD95 with Medical SAM3 masks. The upstream generators do not exhibit a single common ranking across 2D and dense 3D segmentation, and nnU-Net- and Medical-SAM3-driven sparse reconstruction achieve the same mean final Dice despite different upstream error profiles. Across all three sparse-16 mask sources, MR-RS-SDFR is numerically better than protocol-matched full GHD+DVS in both Dice and HD95. Final Dice improves markedly from sparse-4 to sparse-16 and then saturates at the reported precision through sparse-64. These results support MRI-guided per-case SDF refinement as a reconstruction strategy that remains effective across weak-mask generators and supervision densities.
