Morphology
The meaning 'an annoying or contemptible person' is directly and transparently derived from the literal insulting senses of the constituents 'shit' and 'ass'—the phrase is an intensifying double-insult whose overall sense follows straightforward compositional logic. This sort of compounding/intensification of insults is common and predictable in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Shit ass began as two rude words joined together: shit (meaning 'poop' or something worthless) and ass (a donkey, used to mean a stubborn or stupid person). Because it combines those strong images, people use shit ass to call someone 'annoying' or 'worthless'.
