You can't help her to get a visitor's visa if she was denied. Her visa was probably denied because of her presumed immigrant intent (e.g. sister a US citizen, and her intent to live here with you). She may try to reapply for a visa with a proof of strong ties to Brazil

You can petition for her immigrant visa. However, it's likely going to be 10 years before she can emigrate to the United States based on your petition.

There could be some other visa options available: student, work, marriage, etc.
