Here are the three methods I've used to get SC working on Rooted device.
1st Method Using TitaniumBackup (Explained for the SAMPWND Root)

1. Flash the rooted firmware
2. Download snapchat then login
3. Once logged in do the process of installing supersu
4. Once SuperSu is installed download titaniumbackup and backup snapchat and save the backup on a PC or external SD card(just to be safe)
5. Then complete part two of the root process.
6. Once finished install titaniumbackup, make sure the snapchat backup created earlier is in the titaniumbackup folder.
7. Finally restore snapchat.
You should be automatically logged in when you open the app. This process has worked for quite a long time and I just did this to my S8+.


2nd Method Uninstalling SuperSu

If you don't want to go through that process you can always uninstall supersu, download and login to snapchat, then reinstall supersu.
This is probably the easiest way but I'm a huge fan of uninstalling SuperSu.


3rd Method Using BlueStacks and TitaniumBackup (Last Resort)

This is the FINAL way I've found to get SC to work.
1. Install an android emulator like BlueStacks on a PC.
2. Download Snapchat and login on Bluestacks
3. Next root Bluestacks
4. Install titaniumbackup
5. Create backup of Snapchat
6. Transfer backup to already rooted phone
7. Once that is done restore SC with titaniumbackup on the rooted phone
I had to use this method on my old S7 because nothing else would work, it is definitely a LAST resort option lol.
*This is similar to the first method I posted, but with this way you can do it even when you have finished rooting your device*
