The credits themselves, like any other college/university credit, are not supposed to expire. This is completely separate from the issue of whether or not a given school will accept them. For instance, TESU stopped accepting credits from a provider called Shmoop, even if those credits were new, for various reasons. There is no indication that this is going to happen with either SDC or Sophia at any time soon.
As far as age goes, TESU is good about accepting old credits. SDC isn't that old but, IIRC, TESU has previously accepted credits that were 25+ years old. For some degrees, they won't accept credits that are more than 8 years old in the AOS but they will accept them in the gen eds section. So, Sophia should be safe indefinitely at TESU. As long as TESU is still accepting Sophia as a provider, the credits should still be good. SDC, it will depend on whether the credits in question are in the AOS or not and for what degree.
But, in a broad general sense, no, these credits never expire.
