What it is, from Intel:

With Intel® Smart Connect Technology,1 stay current with automatic, no-wait updates to your e-mail, social networks, news, and more. While your system is in standby, it will periodically wake up to update the applications that are open. When you return to your system and open the lid, the latest content will be at your fingertips. It also enables your computer to send updates to the cloud if you create items while you’re away from a network connection—for example, if you write e-mail while on a plane. This way, everyone has your latest thoughts and you always have the freshest data ready to go whenever you are.

Its a fairly lightweight feature I don't know why you want to remove it, however you definitely can with no ill effects.
