You forgot to mention what country's law practices you were talking about.
Here's what QC and SC means after barristers' names in Australia
http://www.philippedoylegray.com/content/view/33/27/ QC is short for
“Queen’s Counsel” and SC is short for “Senior Counsel”. “Counsel” is the
name for a lawyer who pleads cases in Court. So, Queen’s Counsel is the
Queen’s lawyer who pleads cases in Court, and Senior Counsel is a senior
lawyer who pleads cases in Court.
And then goes on to say: "According to the NSW Bar Association’s
selection protocol, Senior counsel must: ..."
... to describe the New South Wales protocol.

You may have noticed the “S.C.” in our firm name. It means Service
Corporation, and it indicates that we are a corporation organized under
a special part of Wisconsin’s corporation laws for use only by
professionals, such as doctors, dentists, accountants, lawyers, and
others who provide professional services.
http://www.westmontlaw.net/message.html
and lots more on that page, such as 'The Supreme Court of Wisconsin,
which makes the rules that regulate all lawyers in this state, recently
established certain rules for all law firms that are service
corporations (and some other kinds of law firms, too). We are pleased to
let you know we have complied with all of the rules.'
