The correct syntax is \NC ... \NC \SR but that doesn't solve the problem
in this case.

Table and expansion are tricky. The error is caused by the last \HL and
goes away if you add another line.
But if you only want four horizontal lines, why not use \thinrules
\thinrules[n=4]
Also have a look at m-educat.tex (look at the example in the end of the
file) which is essentially a fancy wrapper around \thinrules.
I don't know if \thinrules are documented in a manual, but pack-rul.mkiv
gives a few examples:
\starttext
A couple of examples are given below.
\startbuffer
\setupthinrules[n=3,inbetween=,color=gray]
test test \thinrules\ test test \par
test test \thinrules [color=green] test test \par
test test \thinrules [height=max, depth=max] test test \par
\setupthinrules[height=.9,depth=.9]
test test \thinrules\ test test \par
test test \thinrules [alternativevariant=b] test test \par
test test \thinrules [alternativevariant=c] test test \par
test test \thinrules [alternativevariant=c,inbetween=\vskip2ex] test test
\par
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer {\getbuffer}
There are a couple of alternative ways to visualize rules
using backgrounds. At first sight these may look strange,
but they make sense in educational settings. The
alternatives are more or less compatible with the more
advanced \METAPOST\ based implementation.
\startbuffer[a]
\setupthinrules
[n=2,
backgroundcolor=gray ,
rulethickness=1pt,
colorkleur=donkerblauw,
after=\blank,
before=\blank]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[a]
\startbuffer[b]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=a]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=b]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=c]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[b] \getbuffer[a,b]
\startbuffer[b]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=a,background=color]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=b,background=color]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=c,background=color]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[b] \getbuffer[a,b]
\startbuffer[b]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=a,height=.8,depth=.8,background=color]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=b,height=.8,depth=.8,background=color]
\thinrules[alternativevariant=c,height=.8,depth=.8,background=color]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[b] \getbuffer[a,b]
\stoptext
