I can say for sure that our HSM (that's what we're discussing, right?) datasets are in user catalogs.
As for SMS, we use RLS for HSM control data sets, which (I believe) requires SMS management. I remember having to make that change to implement RLS, which I highly recommend if you have the option. . . .

I have never put those CDSes on SMS-managed volume and I think there is good reason for that, like never putting spare door key inside the room. However AFAIR there is no requirement for those datasets to be not SMS-managed. There is no requirement to be SMS-managed as well.
