smap's curses mode is broken on Sequoia. In default curses mode, the man page says that the arrow keys should scroll, but hitting the arrow keys just makes it exit.
All smap keys (not only arrows) only work when the -i option is used. It you would like to update the documentation to make this clearer please provide a patch. BTW, this is not a Sequoia issue, nor does it have anything to do with the bluegene plugin, the fields have been updated to reflect.

This will be in SLURM v2.4.3. In the future, please use the "Add an attachment" option so that we don't have to try to turn a buzzilla message into a patch. Thanks.
