Do you request a new social security card when you get your green card?

Yeah, when you're outside of the country its not that easy to change it. I'm not going to travel back to the US just to update my information with social security office.

Certainly isn’t !! Did I miss reading that you are out of the country ?

It won't affect ROC, but if you switch jobs while ROC is processing (like I did) it's much easier to use DL + unrestricted SSC than it would have been to use expired GC + NOA and explaining what it all means. Since ROC takes over a year, it's my recommendation to get it done before the GC expires.

So what documents do one need to go with? Is the greencard and the SSC enough? And will there be a need to fill any form?

I just did this a few weeks ago.  Yes, you need your green card and current SSN card.  You can choose to fill out that normal form you would to request a new social security card. I didn't do it, and it worked out, although the SS employee was continuously passive aggressive for not filling out the form.
