You could use exactly the same loadstring/setfenv trick to load
sc.synthdefsc; then the supplied environment will contain your
assignments after execution, safely outside _G.

Of course, using loadstring() directly means that you need the full
path to sc.synthdefsc module. You can get this by doing what require()
does, which is look in the semicolon-separated package.path, and keep
a record of whether it's already loaded.
