Dear Rao,
I don't think there is a separate Standing Order for the Shops & Establishment Act. You have to follow the Model Standing Order which is being practiced by everyone if you do not have an exclusive Standing Order certified by JCL of your area for your company.
Hope you can make use of the Model Standing Order.

Mr. S.N. Rao,
Please refer to the Standing Orders Act of 1946 and the rules; they apply to industries and not to any shops and establishments in India. Therefore, you are not required to submit any standing orders to the labor officer who is demanding them.
If he further demands them, ask him to go through the Standing Orders Act of 1946, where it is very clearly stated that it is applicable only to organizations employing 100 or more workers on any single day of the year.
If your organization has employed 100 or more workers, then it is simple. You can purchase a Standing Orders Act and Rules of 1924, where sample standing orders are provided. By using these samples, you can create your own standing order by adding or deleting clauses as per your requirements. Submit 5 sets of copies to the Assistant or Deputy Commissioner of Labor for certification. Before framing any standing orders and submitting them to the labor office for certification, you must consult with the employee representatives or the Trade Union.
After the submission of the standing orders, the certifying officer from the labor department will call the employee representatives or the Trade union leaders, as well as the employer representatives, for discussion before approving or certifying the standing orders. Once the standing orders are certified, they become binding for all the activities outlined in the standing order for the employees and the employer.
