sss or Sub Surface Scattering (full name) is a shading technique used to emulate transluscence surfaces such as skin.

I think a lot of people here are having a hard time grasping what you're asking.

Maybe give specific instances and we'll explain ways we'd yield the effect?

Well Maya comes with a whole load of shaders. All of these have channels that can be mapped with textures, ie; colour and bump and specular are probably the most used.

I dont think you should bog yourself down with the technicalities of whats the best shading technique. I myself use sss very rarely, as its a slow process to set up and achieve correctly.

Also bear in mind that, you can use any type of shader in Maya and still do it/use it badly. Its down to the artist to make best of the tools and experience he/she has to achieve the desired effect.
