How did you come to this impression?
Even if sc_import only takes 4 args (I have no idea if it does), and
does not allow stdin, xargs is your friend.
echo *.pgn | xargs -n 1 sc_import base
I would of course checked out the natural options first
sc_import base *.pgn
or
cat *.pgn | sc_import base (perhaps with a dash (-) as an argumetn, or
even /dev/stdin if your OS supports it).
A limit of 4 seems ludicruous, at best...

PS Of course I assume you are not trying to do this in the GUI, it's
hardly the purpose of the GUI, if you ask me.
And, I assume you're not using Windows as well, as you write
"shell script", but even if you were, you could
easily install cygwin, and ease the burden the OS put upon you a
fair deal.
