The one situation I've had that seems to trigger SSSS regularly is one-way international flights to the US from an international gateway, though that just gets you the extra treatment at the gate and doesn't effect you clearing security unless I suppose you're at an airport that does screening at each gate.
SSSS on international flights are usually random one of occurances. If you get it for purely domestic flights it’s not random and you most likely will be getting it for 6 months or so. Probably has something to do with travel history outside of the US to certain countries
