idk maybe scm is working overtime cuz other muscles are gone.
What's ctnvs/ ctos stand for?

This is probably exactly what is happening. Your scalenes and SCM are synergists and work as neck flexors and stabilizers. With your scalenes gone and your central nervous system not used to calling other muscles to help, each time you look down (i.e. flex), you are using the SCM to work both as a stabilizer and a neck flexor.
I'd suggest asking some PT to help you with training your deep neck flexors to take the load away from the SCM.
