Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'social' (relating to community or communal activities) with 'club' (an association that meets for activities). This is a straightforward noun compound following common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Social club comes from putting social (friendly, about people) and club (a group that meets) together. One easy image is a small group meeting to eat, talk, or play games, so a social club means a group people join for shared activities and 'to meet' others.
