Even though I don't like using wikipedia as a source, they define the term "squad designated marksman" really well. Squad designated marksmen are attached to infantry squads. Hell, my father was the Soviet equivalent of a squad designated marksman during the Soviet-Afghan war, armed with an SVD. Not only is squad designated marksman the proper term, it is a more accurate description of the role itself.
