I heard back from Fred Wright: "Although I wasn't at SC in 1972, I'm pretty sure I would have heard of the SC-4 if it had ever existed. The document you linked was just a proposal, and I imagine that that's as far as it ever got. AFAIK, SC didn't create any full-fledged computers between the SC-15 (1970) and the SC-30 (1983)."
