Sir, I have completed my B.Sc hons. with specialization in Mathematics and scored 48% in finals and I belong to Schedule Caste category. So, am I eligible to do B.Ed from any UGC recognized colleges? I heard that standard cut-off is 50% for General caste category candidates. What about SC candidates?

Yes, there is a percentage relaxation for SC candidates to do B.Ed:-
The minimum percentage of marks required for applying for the B.Ed course is 50%.
There will be relaxations allowed in case of the percentage of marks for the reserved category candidates.
The candidates who belong to the reserved categories namely SC/ ST/ OBC needs to score only 45% marks.
The selection will be based on the percentage of marks in the entrance examination. You can apply online for the exam.

The minimum percentage required in graduation to get admission in B.Ed is 50%. However, relaxation of 5% is given to reserved category students.

As per the minimum percentage required in graduation to apply for B.Ed course is 50% for general category and 45% for SC and ST candidates.
Therefore, you are are eligible with 48% in graduation.
