There is likely a proof somewhere on this site but I could not find it. Here I give a quick proof of my comment (since I originally mis-stated the result by forgetting the "lower bounded" restriction):
Let $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of random variables, not necessarily identically distributed and not necessarily independent, that satisfy:
i) $E[X_i]=m_i$, where $m_i \in \mathbb{R}$ for all $i\in\{1, 2, 3, ...\}$.
ii) There is a constant $\sigma^2_{bound}$ such that $Var(X_i) \leq \sigma^2_{bound}$ for all $i \in \{1, 2, 3, ...\}$.
iii) The variables are pairwise uncorrelated, so $E[(X_i-m_i)(X_j-m_j)]=0$ for all $i \neq j$.
iv) There is a value $b \in \mathbb{R}$ such that, with prob 1, $X_i-m_i\geq b$ for all $i \in \{1, 2, 3, ...\}$.
Define $L_n = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-m_i)$. Then $L_n\rightarrow 0$ with prob 1.
Proof: Since the variables are pairwise uncorrelated with bounded variance, we easily find for all $n$:
$$ E[L_n^2] = \frac{1}{n^2}\sum_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^2 \leq \frac{\sigma_{bound}^2}{n} $$
Fix $\epsilon>0$. It follows that:
$$ P[|L_n|>\epsilon] = P[L_n^2 \leq \epsilon^2] \leq \frac{E[L_n^2]}{\epsilon^2} \leq \frac{\sigma_{bound}^2}{n\epsilon^2} $$
Hence:
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} P[|L_{n^2}|>\epsilon] \leq \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\sigma_{bound}^2}{n^2\epsilon^2} < \infty $$
and so $L_{n^2}\rightarrow 0$ with probability 1 by the Borel-Cantelli Lemma. That is, the $L_n$ values converge over the sparse subsequence $n\in\{1, 4, 9, 16, ...\}$.
Since $L_n \geq b$ for all $n$ and $L_{n^2}\rightarrow 0$ with probability 1, it can be shown that $L_n\rightarrow 0$ with probability 1. $\Box$
The lower bounded condition is typically treated by writing $X_n = X_n^+ - X_n^-$ where $X_n^+$ and $X_n^-$ are nonnegative and defined $X_n^+=\max[X_n,0]$, $X_n^-=-\min[X_n,0]$. If $X_n$ and $X_i$ are independent, then $X_n^+$ and $X_i^+$ are also independent. So the lower bounded condition can be removed for the case when variables are independent. However, if $X_n$ and $X_i$ are uncorrelated, that does not mean $X_n^+$ and $X_i^+$ are uncorrelated. So it is not clear to me if the lower-bounded condition can be removed when "independence" is replaced by the weaker condition "pairwise uncorrelated."

We have \begin{align*} \mathbb{E}\exp(it S_N) & = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mathbb{E}(1_{\{N=n\}} \exp(itS_n)) \\ &= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mathbb{E} \left(e^{it X_n} 1_{\{X_n=0\}} \prod_{k=1}^{n-1} 1_{\{X_k \neq 0\}} \exp(itX_k)\right). \end{align*}
By the independence of the random variables, this gives
$$ \mathbb{E}\exp(it S_N) =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \underbrace{\mathbb{P}(X_n=0)}_{1/2} \prod_{k=1}^{n-1} \underbrace{\mathbb{E}(\exp(it X_k) 1_{\{X_k \neq 0\}})}_{=\frac{1}{2} \cos(t)} = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{\cos(t)}{2} \right)^{n-1}.$$
Finally, note that the series on the right-hand side is a geometric series; it can be computed explicitly.
