I had this issue when creating overhead slides in PDF for my lectures
see
http://www.agsm.edu.au/bobm/teaching/SGTM/lect10pr-3.pdf

This is in the top of my file:

.special MDUTBIMI SS S ZD ZDR
.EQ
delim ``
gfont HBI
grfont HB
.EN

That is, I use the Greek symbols from the font MDUTBIMI for appearance in
equations.
Otherwise, as you have seen, there is no embolding of SS and S symbols.
MDUTBIMI is MathDesign-UT-Bold-Italic-MathItalic-10, and has some other
symbols as well as the Greek ones. by putting it ahead of SS and S in the
.special call, its Greek symbols will be used (ahead of the SS and S ones).

Hope that helps,
