I’m not familiar with the term “neoclassical liberal”, but in the US:
“Social liberal” means liberal on social issues (people should be able to do what they want, government shouldn’t police morality or sex, against segregation and discrimination) but not on other issues (eg. national defense, economics, criminal law).
Whereas “progressive social Democrat” is in favor of actively correcting social ills, eg. with affirmative action hiring, better public education, comprehensive sex ed; while also holding left-wing economic positions and otherwise falling in line with the DNC.
I think in Germany, ‘sozialliberal’ usually refers to being liberal in general, except for being pro social regulations / markets. So I guess it means everything and nothing 🤷
