This is generally not considered a problem because sc.ini is a 
unique-enough filename. It is certainly not considered a problem 
on POSIX platforms today (following freedesktop recommendations), 
where the expectation is that programs will use their own 
unique-enough file/directory names (generally named after the 
software) in /etc or ~/.config, or as dictated by 
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS / $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if set (which they usually 
aren't).

You'd probably want to set HOME to the same value as 
%USERPROFILE%, as that best maps to its usage on POSIX (where it 
is generally always set). That would also give it a good value 
for any other POSIX-ish software that would happen to use it 
(then there would be no need to worry about collisions because 
it's set to a good value). You could then place your sc.ini there.
