Heh heh. Will your Black Lord thug mow down an army of 150+ soldiers single-handedly? I think not. On the other hand, an Ice Devil equipped as PrinzMegaherz says will kill an army composed of however many mortal troops you put into it quite easily. That's SC.
Or an even unequipped VQ

There are some remarkable national troops though that sometimes can kill an SC :
- Good tramplers can sometimes luckily kill a SC which has no etheralness
- Jotunheim troops do serious damage when they hit
- Good blessed troops
- X-bows/Arlabests
- The initial lance attack from HC ( Panther lost a full equipped ID to 20 or 25 HC event attack in our newbie slugfest )
- Small troops that have 20+ damage , i.e. barbarians

I surely forgot some kinds of troops

Stronger summonable troops like Deccans blessed tomb wyrms from newbie slugfest can kill many SCs . Angels or ether warriors are quite nasty against undead/demon Scs or Magic Being SCs .

No SC is completely invulnerable .
Vs. lots of low hp troops he can protect himself quite well via fire shield / BoW / Astral shield etc. ,
Etheral + Luck are good in general vs troops ,
really high protection helps against almost any troops expect Jotunheim troops etc.

BUT if the SC is built especially anti troops then he normally lacks something else very important and is weak vs. Anti-SC-SCs or has rather low MR etc. .

If your troops are "buffed" with extra-strength + ap spells "elite" troops like mechanical men or devils can kill almost any SC .
