I don't think the viva towel method works with Swiss Meringue Buttercream, since SMBC doesn't crust.
If you are familiar with the Sugarshack method, that works perfectly, but you just don't do the paper towels/cardstock tricks. But you don't need to anyways.
This works with SMBC, the upside down method. It also works with ganache.

Read the two and watch the video. I think there's a slight difference on how the top is done. I still have to check what the difference is, but a friend told me that she prefers to do the top it the sugarsweetcakes way.
I think the person who created this technique is Jeff_Arnett here at CC.
Of course
Put the cake in the fridge for about 1/2 hour. Pull it out, and scrape the sides with a bench scraper. Then heat the bench scraper up under hot water (dry it off) and run it lightly across the surface. Wala, perfectly smooth SMBC.

I thought sugarshack's method is for crusting buttercream, do you think it will work with Smbc too?

Just reread what I wrote.
