You'd need (SC)^2. And even then, it would be SSSCCSCC, due to the way you apply exponents to expressions in parenthesis, if memory serves correctly, because it would be (SC)(SC), which means you take S times S and C, then C times S and C.
Yay math?

Hmmm...Almost I think. (SC)^2, or (SC)(SC), would give: S^2+2SC+C^2, based on the FOIL operation of polynomial multiplication.
It's been a while since I did that stuff though.
