Once you log into SR, click the "account" link at the top of your page. The account page will have a wallet address (a series of letters and numbers).  Once you secure your coin, you can send them to that address.  It may take a couple of hours to show up, but that's the wallet address.

Now, for exrra security some pass the coin through a series of anonymous wallets before finally sending to SR.  That's up to you.  SR does provide some security with a coin tumbler, but more is always better.

So it goes:

Cash -> exchange service of your choosing -> BTC -> SR wallet address

The tumbler works but only for outgoing transactions, not incoming ones. You can see this if you follow the bitcoin deposit on blockchain.info.

For best security, OP, send your coins to a true mixer first, such as bitcoin fog (http://fogcore5n3ov3tui.onion), then from there you can send to your SR wallet. Wait at least twelve hours after they arrive at the fog before you send the deposit to your SR wallet, and then do it over a good time period, like 24 hours or so. They charge a small fee for this service, but it's money well spent.
