Being the SB in heads-up is advantageous in two ways:
1. The SB has position on the BB.
2. You stand a better chance of stealing the BB's blinds, than he stealing yours.
Here, we are looking at stealing the BB's blind by raising him preflop. This will work a few times, but the above average player will put his finger on your evil, shallow scheme. The BB (the above average player) will notice your third or fourth preflop raise to him, and he will counter with a huge re-raise, in which case, he now steals your blinds.
Raising the BB preflop might be effective against some amateurs, but not very much so against the adept.
