You have first to call .TH within the man page (.TH defines .SH), then
redefining .SH.

Below is a snippet which does what you want.

.TH foo
.
.rn SH ORIGINAL_SH
.
.de1 SH
.       if d SEE_ALSO \{\
.               nop \\*[SEE_ALSO]
.               rm SEE_ALSO
.       \}
.       ORIGINAL_SH \\$@
..
.
.de SA
.       if d SEE_ALSO \
.         as SEE_ALSO , \"
.       as SEE_ALSO \\$1
..      
.

.SH SEE ALSO
.SA foo
.SA bar
.SA blech
.
.SH SOMETHING_ELSE
bar
