Is it possible for a SM to get assigned to the same company twice? I've seen SM's get assigned to their previous Brigade or even Battalion but a different company.

Yes.
It is not unheard of for an NCO to be in a line unit, get pulled to HHC for some staff time, and then go back to the same line unit.
Going to the same Company after PCSing away and then returning is a bit rarer, but still not impossible. I would sssume it is far more likely in smaller MOSs. For instance, parachute riggers have a relatively limited number of units they can be assigned to; 42As, if assigned to a Bn or Bde, are almost guaranteed to be in the HHC; etc.
In 2006, as a 96H, I was assigned to a tiny detachment in Florida that was part of HHC, USAIC. From there, I reclassed to 35M. A couple years after that, TRADOC rebranded their schoolhouses, and the United States Army Intelligence Center (USAIC) became the United States Army Intelligence Center OF EXCELLENCE (USAICOE). And a couple years after that, as a 35M, I was assigned to HHC, USAICOE in 2013.
Same company, 7 years, 3 assignments, and a new MOS later.

Yea, it's possible. I personally know two guys from the 58th CEC that went on to different assignments (Korea for one, recruiting for another) and ended back in the 58th after thise tours were done. Is it odd? Yes. Possible? Also yes.

It isn't common but it happens. There isn't anything on paper that actively prevents or promotes it from happening.
