I had trouble with this also. SCOM will only recognize traps that are the same 
SNMP version of the device that was discovered. So if the device was discovered 
in SCOM as SNMP V2 then the SCOM will only recognize SNMP V2 traps. The problem 
I had was that the device was discovered as SNMP V2 in SCOM but was sending 
SNMP V1 traps. You should be able to edit the XML of the trap monitor or rule 
and change the version of the SNMP device from "what's was discovered" to 
"version 1". One I did that my trap monitors and rules started working.

Subject: [msmom] SNMP Traps

Anyone have any luck with SNMP traps in SCOM 2012 SP1? If so, how did you get 
it working. Here's what I have so far but with no luck.
I'm able to discover the network device.
SNMP Service installed and running. Security tab has the allowed hosts and the 
correct community strings.
SNMP Trap service installed, but disabled.
In SCOM - Unit Monitor>SNMP>Trap Based Detection>SNMP Trap Monitor
