Matthew, If your instances are running within a VPC, you can indeed use the AWS CLI or API (or even console) to add the missing Security Groups.
As far as volumes go.. Well you can add a volume, but Scalr won't know about it, so all the options that are set in Scalr (e.g. reuse, format, mount) won't be used either. We realize this can be a problem (especially in test / dev where launching a new instance for one misconfiguration isn't something you want to do), and we plan to eventually address it by giving users the option to reconcile running servers with your Farm configuration. However, note that we are not planning to automate this (meaning it'll remain a manual action, though you could it in bulk), as our customers and users have repeatedly expressed the feedback that they don't want Scalr to "touch" running instances.
