The alphabet used by the Kryptonians is NOT the same as us
here on earth. Obviously we are "worlds" apart.
That question came up in the original comic books in 1959, and
Superman said to Lois Lane, "That symbol stands for the first
letter of my name Kal-el."

Mike got it right. It is the Family Shield of the house of El which is Superman's real last name. His earth mother made his first Superman suit from the blankets they found him in (which explains why they are as strong as he is)

It's probably a continuity flaw with the television show. Writers make mistakes all the time. S is for superman, but it may also be a representative of the snake that moses told people to look at to be healed in the old testament.
That snake is used today by pharmacists, and it could also symbolize how Superman saves the world by getting rid of evil (illnesses were used to be thought of as evil). The creators of Superman are Jewish, and that snake is very important in some Jewish traditions.
