With KOMA-Script, you better do
\KOMAOptions{index=totoc}

How about
\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsngerman{\renewcommand{\indexname}{Sachregister}}
}
If this fails as well, we need the complete error message: which
control sequence is reported as being undefined?

This depends on the index processor. I recommend texindy. This should
sort German properly. But note that there are two German sorting
varieties, called german-din and german-duden in texindy:
"German recognizes two different sorting schemes to handle umlauts:
normally, "ae" is sorted like "ae", but in phone books or dictionaries,
it is sorted like "a". The first scheme is known as DIN order, the
second as Duden order."
In Document > Settings > Index, select "texindy" as index processor and
add "-L german-din" as option.
If you prefer makeindex to xindy, you need the -g option.
