Try whatever you want (e.g. SCD...):
EVERYTHING is an image file extension :-)
So the issue is to choose something uncommon...
From my tests on win here in the lab, there's no problem in using ctrl+right click to "open with", i.e. opening the file with rtf format and a different extension with e.g. MSWord.
The real problems arises when one chooses extensions used by system. In that case, the "open with" is normally not available.
Because of this, sc* is intrinsically difficult (e.g. scr = screen icon, sct = script, etc)
scrt works fine, but it' s 4 chars.
rsc (--> Rich SC) is the best candidate: it is uncommon on win and mac, and works fine (rtfd --> rscd?.)
Maybe win/linux should take a deeper look in possible file extension issues.

If the file format is unchanged, you can always open the document
with whatever application you like, no?
I don't know on linux, but on win is like on mac, e.g. you ask to
open a scr with MSWord. But at least default application is with no
doubt SC.
Have you tested that?
If it works, I don't have a particular objection, as I find the lost
file associations annoying. But scr is maybe not the best choice, as
that's an image format I believe.
