Putting your SC in the right place to do the right things is part of the strategy, so don't use them to defend a province if your PD is going to cause him to rout before he's done his thing.

Wait till your SC "does his thing" and in the process kills his own PD and then routs before the attacking enemy reaches him

Well, that's not so bad. He's fleeing because he's embarrassed and wants to get out of there before anyone recognizes him.
