None of the SDI stuff will intercept a sea-launched SCUD. (The Coast Guard may sink the ship before launch though.) There simply isn't reaction time. A trans-polar launch may take 15 to 20 minutes to impact but a sea launch could strike in much less time.

This doesn't mean I'm opposed to SDI, just that one has to be realistic.
