Morphology
The meaning 'a group of people who interact and share a common social relationship or identity' is directly derivable from combining 'social' (relating to society or communal relationships) with 'group' (several people seen as one unit). This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound noun social group gives a simple picture: a social (people who meet and talk) group (people together) sharing ideas, rules, or habits. So it means 'a group of people who meet, interact, and feel they belong together'.
