Has anyone put their SCM on a slider? New DeWalt 735 planer is too wide for my combo table and I need a way (easy) to move the saw back when planing.

Not that I have done it but why not?
If you have scales set up I would suggest using 3 'good' full extension drawer slides. Steel with ball bearings.. Good as in about $12.00 each.
I made a horizontal router set up with sliding tables (24 inch movement) Never needed that much movement but I had the slides and wood.. So I made it that way..
I tried two slides (like a drawer) and the position accuracy left ALOT to be desired.. I found that a slide in the center of the table was the key to good positioning of the table. The center one just laid flat and the two side ones mounted just like they would be for a drawer.. Side ones hold the load and the center does the guiding..
I'll try to find my old post so you can see what I mean...
Go for it!
