SCI refers to 'Science Citation Index' and forms one part of Web of Science, a database of scholarly publications.
Scopus is another database of scholarly publications (a competitor).
Both databases selectively index academic journals and conferences after a certain quality-control, which is why some people (research evaluators, funders) may place a specific value to such Web of Science- or Scopus-indexed outlets.
Regarding your specific paper, yes, it is:
- indexed within Web of Science in the Conference Proceedings Citations Index (CPCI), but not in SCI because it is a conference paper and not a journal publication (record ID: WOS:000503498000030)
- indexed in Scopus (record ID: 2-s2.0-85070598252)
