There are a number of non stellar objects that have received names similar to stars (47 Tucanae and Omega Centauri are the best known ones) which can cause some confusion.
The SMC is quite large, roughly 5.5x3.5 degrees I think so to see the whole thing need a very wide FOV, binos are a good idea for that.
