What does "(S)" mean in a column of otherwise percentage values in this US Census dataset of surnames?

Post Body

I am working on a project using some Netflix catalogue and some 15000 names of actors/directors, trying to estimate their ethnicities using datasets of names and what ethnicity they are most common in. I found the US Census Data of surnames and % of people who identify as certain ethnicities, but it's riddled with "(S)" values amongst the legit floats. Unfortunately the data dictionary from 531 or the census methodology [PDF] detailing did not clarify things.

Does anyone know the significance of that value?
