H4831SC: Ballistically, this Extreme Extruded powder is the exact copy of H4831. 
Physically, it has a shorter grain size, therefore, the designation SC, or short cut. 
The shorter, more compact kernels allow the powder to flow through powder measures more smoothly, helping to alleviate the constant cutting of granules.
With the smoother flow characteristics comes more uniform charge weights while the individual grains orient more compactly, creating better loading density.

When I was using them several years ago the only difference I noticed was that the SC metered easier.  I don't recall there being any difference ballistically.

On the same subject, how about the difference between IMR and H4227?  The IMR is working very well in 32-20 and 38-55.  If all I can find to buy is H4227 will there be any difference in accuracy?

The answer to this question is to look on the can and see where it was made.

Canada = IMR 4227

Australia = H4227

I heard resently that IMR was again making 4227 but, who knows, they could be making to the Australian (ADI) formula. Very confusing at least to guy's (like me) that started using IMR4227 in their 32/40's. I now buy mine at gun shows in the old metal cans.
