• This paper focuses on a class of mathematical programs with symmetric cone complementarity constraints (SCMPCC). The explicit expression of C-stationary condition and SCMPCC-linear independence constraint qualification (denoted by SCMPCC-LICQ) for SCMPCC are first presented. We analyze a parametric smoothing approach for solving this program in which SCMPCC is replaced by a smoothing problem $P_{\varepsilon}$ depending on a (small) parameter $\varepsilon$. We are interested in the convergence behavior of the feasible set, stationary points, solution mapping and optimal value function of problem $P_{\varepsilon}$ when $\varepsilon \to 0$ under SCMPCC-LICQ. In particular, it is shown that the convergence rate of Hausdorff distance between feasible sets $\mathcal{F}_{\varepsilon}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ is of order $\mbox{O}(|\varepsilon|)$ and the solution mapping and optimal value of $P_{\varepsilon}$ are outer semicontinuous and locally Lipschitz continuous at $\varepsilon=0$ respectively. Moreover, any accumulation point of stationary points of $P_{\varepsilon}$ is a C-stationary point of SCMPCC under SCMPCC-LICQ.
