Above both of those (i.e. vik/SConstruct)

That's fine.  In the SConscript() call in your SConstruct, you can
call the SConscript any name you like.  Typically you'd have one
SConscript per sub-project or dir, like lib/SConscript and
utils/SConscript (but lib/lib.sc and utils.utils.sc would also be OK,
just use the right name when you call SConscript()).

Your SConstruct could look something like this:

  env=Environment(...)
  Export('env')
  SConscript('lib/lib.sc', build_dir = 'build/lib')
  SConscript('utils/utils.sc', build_dir='build/utils')

Then your SConscripts can look like:
  Import('env')
  prog1=env.Program(...)
  env.Install('#', prog1) # install prog1 at top level
