There are no input for sss map in medium nodes. You can use the map as mask factor between sss and non sss material for example..... or use it as a mask for mix texture for radius input in Random Walk node.

As pointed out, the SSS map goes wherever it works best. Nowadays SSS is more advanced, there is rarely only one SSS map but several for different attributes of an SSS shader. For more in depth details on SSS perhaps this SSS page could help.

What's the asset? An organic character, plant or artificial object?

Also, another page worth reading on why to avoid PNG files.
