AR 600-8-19:
Section 1-15, paragraph B: Promotion to SPC through SFC requires the clearance eligibility required by the promotion MOS or an interim security clearance at the same level

Section 10-20, paragraph E: Regular Army, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard (interim clearance promotion). A Soldier is promoted using an interim clearance but final clearance is not granted, for any reason. This Soldier must be reduced or reclassified into a position that does not require a clearance. This includes National Agency Checks that come back unfavorable, when it is a condition of the promotion

Your MOS requires a clearance, so if your clearance had issues when you were promoted, you were not qualified in you MOS which is why the promotion was rescinded.
On top of that, if you aren't able to fix your clearance you will be mandatorily reclassed.
