However, Monty said that they we're trying to do too much, and that tons of stuff they planned for Volume Two is getting pushed back into Season Two. (A Season is two Volumes, don't know if you know). Assuming any SDC plot was going to take up the later half of Season Two, it's going to be at least a year before we see it - and that's if they even had any plans to do that yet.

So I wouldn't look forward to it, unfortunately. First of all, I'm really glad that you find this thread interesting! I'm discovering that there's a lot of interest in Weiss and the SDC, even more than I thought.

Second of all, I'm both happy and sad about your answer. I'm happy because it shows that Monty has concern about pacing and plot progression. I don't think I could handle it if plot was constantly shoved in the fans' faces without giving us time to digest the new information we learned. I felt that volume 1 didn't give enough plot and information, and it's good to know that Monty's made sure that volume 2 doesn't have the opposite problem: giving too much. I'm sad because of the obvious; it could potentially mean that the SDC won't come into play until a year from now, and with that Weiss' issues (unless that gets covered separately from the SDC gaining relevance in the story, but I doubt that. Her family and their company seem to be very important in her character development). Considering all the other story elements like Cinder and company, the White Fang, and Ironwood gaining importance in the plot, this is very likely to be the case.
