I believe sklansky/chubanov is based on the fact that your opponent knows your hand.

Not at all. The SC number is the point at which it's a profitable shove even if they knew your hand and played perfectly. The fact they don't know your means they can't play perfectly which is futher +EV.

The S-C rankings and numbers were determined using a cash game model: that your single opponent knows your hand and will only call if it is profitable to do so. This makes for a nice limiting case in cash games but not so much in SNGs. There are a few elements of SNGs that make them less applicable. The most important of these is that it is possible for your opponent to make a bad call that hurts both you and him. What you are looking for in a SNG is the Nash Equilibrium if you want to not care about your opponents' ranges. The NE is a much more complicated problem to solve.
There are a lot of good uses for the S-C rankings in SNGs, which will show up a lot more in Part 3: High Blind Play.
