It helps to know what operating system and shell you're using since the utilities on various operating systems have options that might help with what you are trying to do that are not available on other operating systems. Whenever you start a new thread here, please always tell us what shell and operating system you're using.
We need a much clearer definition of what you consider to be a word starting with "s" or "S". Is a word just alphabetic characters? Can hyphens be included in a word (e.g., sub-sonic)? Can numeric characters be included in a word (e.g., "straight-6")? Can apostrophes be included in a word (e.g., "she's")? When apostrophes can be included in words, how are we to distinguish between a phrase surrounded by single-quotes and a word containing a hyphen? (Note that regular expressions in grep can only look at a single line and quoted strings can cross many line boundaries.)
And, if we can't see a sample of the data you're working with and the output you expect to get from it, we have no way to verify that anything we might suggest might work for you. Please give us a representative sample input and the corresponding exact output you hope to produce from that input.

deroff
deroff(1) User Commands deroff(1)
NAME
deroff - remove nroff/troff, tbl, and eqn constructs
SYNOPSIS
deroff [ -m [m | s | l] ] [-w] [-i] [ filename...]
DESCRIPTION
deroff reads each of the filenames in sequence and removes all troff(1) requests, macro calls, backslash constructs, eqn(1) constructs
(between .EQ and .EN lines, and between delimiters), and tbl(1) descriptions, perhaps replacing them with white space (blanks and blank
lines), and writes the remainder of the file on the standard output. deroff follows chains of included files (.so and .nx troff commands);
if a file has already been included, a .so naming that file is ignored and a .nx naming that file terminates execution. If no input file is
given, deroff reads the standard input.
OPTIONS
-m The -m option may be followed by an m, s, or l. The -mm option causes the macros to be interpreted so that only running text is
output (that is, no text from macro lines.) The -ml option forces the -mm option and also causes deletion of lists associated
with the mm macros.
-w If the -w option is given, the output is a word list, one ``word'' per line, with all other characters deleted. Otherwise, the
output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above. In text, a ``word'' is any string that contains at least two let-
ters and is composed of letters, digits, ampersands (&), and apostrophes ('); in a macro call, however, a ``word'' is a string
that begins with at least two letters and contains a total of at least three letters. Delimiters are any characters other than
letters, digits, apostrophes, and ampersands. Trailing apostrophes and ampersands are removed from ``words.''
-i The -i option causes deroff to ignore .so and .nx commands.
ATTRIBUTES

SEE ALSO

NOTES
deroff is not a complete troff interpreter, so it can be confused by subtle constructs. Most such errors result in too much rather than too
little output.
The -ml option does not handle nested lists correctly.
