Morphology
The constituents 'said' + 'that' + 'shit' transparently yield a literal sense of 'you said that nonsense/thing', so a B1 learner who knows 'shit' as a vulgar negative term can infer a general sense of disbelief or disapproval. However, the expression's pragmatic force, register, and emphatic colloquial use (as an expletive reaction) are not fully predictable from the parts alone, so its meaning is only partly derivable.
Etymology
Said that shit comes from a simple, literal moment: someone actually said the rude word shit out loud in front of others. So people use it to show 'surprise' or 'disbelief' when they cannot believe what was said.
