In this paper, we study the persistence of invariant tori of integrable Hamiltonian systems satisfying R\"{u}ssmann's non-degeneracy condition when symplectic integrators are applied to them. Meanwhile, we give an estimate of the measure of the set occupied by the invariant tori in the phase space. On an invariant torus, the one-step map of the scheme is conjugate to a one parameter family of linear rotations with a step size dependent frequency vector in terms of iteration. These results are a generalization of Shang's theorems (1999, 2000), where the non-degeneracy condition is assumed in the sense of Kolmogorov. In comparison, R\"{u}ssmann's condition is the weakest non-degeneracy condition for the persistence of invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems. These results provide new insight into the nonlinear stability of symplectic integrators.
