Morphology
The noun phrase is a transparent composition of 'social' (relating to society or relationships) and 'interaction' (mutual action), so the combined meaning 'the process by which people act and react to others' is directly inferable from the parts. This adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Social interaction comes from a simple image of people acting and reacting together, like two people passing a ball where one throws and the other returns it. The words social and interaction show people being together and responding to each other, so the phrase means 'the way people act and react with each other'.
