There's not really a simple solution to the SDM problem; I consider them to be the strongest faction in the game. Their forces don't have any severe deficiency that you can exploit with a specialized army, and Remi and Flan are amongst the strongest lords.

I generally don't consider it worthwhile to engage Remi or Flan in open-field battles unless they've already been significantly weakened. They can both field an unholy number of those obnoxious super-powered knights, and they have a lot of strong heavy infantry to back them up with. It's much better to crush them during castle assaults. The knights are far less threatening on foot, and the SDM's archers are nothing special. You'll still need a really strong force of heavy infantry, though. Fielding archers against the SDM is generally a poor idea: anything less absurd than a mass of mecha will be unable to deal much damage before the SDM's well-shielded heavy infantry reach the front. A whole bunch of fully-upgraded oni infantry in a castle will give the SDM a bad time, because oni infantry do not give a shit about shields. You do still need to be careful of Remi, though, since she's basically armed with a rocket launcher.

While Remi and Flan are recovering or imprisoned, it's much easier to launch an offensive against the SDM. Some of their other lords are still tough, but they don't field anyhing on par with Scarlet Knights or Chaos Knights.
