Right now the simplest thing do so is to remove SULibrary and all the
other libraries you want to be served over  S3 from you application.
Then implement #updateRoot: in your root component :

updateRoot: html
    super updateRoot: html.
    html script resourceUrl: '/SULibary/effects.js'

Make it work for you first. Then worry about the rest.
