Combat rifles are... difficult to counter. They're pretty good at most ranges. Outranging them might work best if you're not a CQC player. Any competent player with a CR will wreck you at midrange though. If you want to use one, it's notdifficult. The only tip worth mentioning is that the weapon has a 'rhythm' to it. If you click the trigger at a certain rate it'll fire faster than if you were randomly tapping at a faster rate.
Countering the RR - cover. RRs aren't so great at cover fights because of their charge time. It's not hugely significant but it's something. By doing this you can also bait people into emptying their clips more than they might otherwise. As the RR needs to charge to fire a lot of people tend to dislike stopping shooting, so by ducking in and out you can force them to empty their clip, at which point you have a short window to charge them. The damage output isn't as high as a combat rifle though so provided you're in range you can probably just casually kill them. Just don't get outranged, that's a bad place to be at.
The best way to counter an SCR is to bait them. Jump out of cover and jump back in quickly - if a load of lasers blast through where you were standing a minute ago, they've used up some of their heat bar. Jump back out again and engage - there'll be a short window in which they can't effectively kill you as they'll overheat if they try to do so. It -is- quite short though so be quick. If you want to use one I wrote a guide on the topic: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=117063&find=unread
SCPs aren't really used that much on the field anymore. They have short clips and a headshot bonus, so it's beneficial to jump around to prevent someone from lining up a headshot on you and possibly get them to need to reload.
SMGs are, like the combat rifle, difficult to counter. As a fully automatic weapon with little else to it there are few quirks you can exploit to kill their users. Outranging them is the best solution, although anyone using an SMG is likely to have a longer ranged weapon with them or otherwise not be trying to engage you at that range.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.
