ONE SOLUTION: For what this is worth, I have disovered a solution which prevents frequent crashing with Mac OS 10.11.3 ("El Capitan"). Up until this upgrade, my system ran smoothly with no issues, with all graphics set to max. With the El Capitan upgrade, I was no longer able to use SL. Here is what I did to fix it:
1. Install the "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB" driver, and restart.
2. Clear SL Viewer cache, turn all graphic settings to their lowest settings.
3. Enable "OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects" and "Texture Compression" in Prefs> Graphics> Hardware.
4. Slowly experiment with increased graphics settings, until you reach a stable state.
I hope this helps some of you Mac users out there.
This has been a public service announcement.
Carry on!
