Morphology
social + development + commission
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'social' + 'development' yields development relating to society or communities, and 'commission' denotes a formal committee. A B1 learner who knows these constituent meanings can infer that this is a committee focused on social development (even if they may not know the specific UN affiliation).
Etymology
Social Development Commission gets its name from its parts: social (about people and communities), development (helping things grow or get better), and commission (a group chosen to do a job). So, it means 'a United Nations group that meets to help countries improve people's lives'.
