If this is all you want to do, then this will do it:
for i in *.abc; do mv $i ${i%abc}def; done
but you want to rename
s*.abc to s*.sNN
so, try this:
n=0; for i in *.abc do n=$(($n+1)); mv $i ${i%abc}${${i%${i#?}}$n; done
this is not perfect - you'll get extensions like .s1 - .s9, then .s10 -
.s99 and then .s100 ->
so, if you want better extensions, put the n=$(($n+1)) inside a
condition to decide what it should be.
