Morphology
The literal constituents ('her' + 'shit' + 'doesn't' + 'stink') yield the image 'her stuff doesn't smell', which can be extended metaphorically to mean she is without faults or acts superior. However, the use of 'shit' in a derogatory/metaphorical sense and the cultural/pragmatic implication of being 'above reproach' are idiomatic and vulgar, so a B1 learner who only knows the words may only partially infer the intended social meaning and might miss the nuance without prior exposure.
Etymology
Her shit doesn't stink paints a crude image: it imagines someone who thinks even their shit 'doesn't stink', so they behave as if they are 'perfect' and better than everyone else.
