They did not withhold any Illinois state Income Tax despite me subitting an updated document. Is this legal?

An employer is generally required to withold income taxes ( federal, FICA and state ) on all employees. Best negotiate with the employer, because , while you can complain to state DOR, they may impose fine and make the employer very unhappy. If they did not withhold any taxes at all ( no federal,no state or FICA ) then they are considering you as a non-employee. If you do fit the definiton of an employee and the employer is treating you as a non-employee for tax pruposes ( issues you 1099-misc ) that is very illegal and can incur significant fines for the employer. That is why I suggest , please talk to the employer and try to resolve the issue.
