An SDS object has no width, height or depth simply because an SDS object can have just about any shape. The fact that you start with a cube, and yes the name cube isn't even accurate, is just that - this is the initial shape of the object, before any maniplulation. To make an SDS cube an exact size, you could either manually edit the points numerically, one by one, in the properties window or you could first create an analytical "cube" of the desired dimensions and either convert that using "ToSDS" or just snap select the points when creating your SDS.
