I guess that SMC run locally is very similar to running sage, it's an altenative interface but you must start a (local) server to perform the computations. If this is correct, then we really have two different paradigms. They could perhaps interoperate, for example some CAS computations on the SMC could be done on the client browser by the giac javascript code, leaving more ressources on the server side for collaboration and hosting tasks instead of computing.
