"Book Mentions" just means that if a different book is mentioned in the book that you are reading, it will be underlined and (I think) there will be a link to buy/find out more info about that book.
"Popular Highlights" means that the passages that many people have highlighted will be highlighted in your book automatically.
(I turn both of these off, because I have no interest in either)
"About this book" I'm pretty sure this means that when you open a book, you'll get a pop-up giving you the book blurb from Amazon, typical time to read, and sharing options, if you have that set up on your Kindle. This is the only one that could possibly have anything to do with sharing or privacy, but you have to explicitly put in your account info for whatever social network you would be sharing to, and it doesn't happen automatically - you have to initiate it. (with the possible exception of Goodreads...you can set it to automatically mark the book as "currently reading" if you so choose, but again, you have to explicitly enter your credentials in order to have the option, and it's very easy to turn it off, even if you have turned it off in the past)

PS--I still don't know what "SM" stands for in this case

Doesn't popular highlights send your highlights to be shared with others?
