I've just started using font Palatino for my documents, and I've realized the opening quotes are all rendered as closing quotes. As per the question What is the best way to use quotation mark glyphs? I use ``hello'' to quote, but somehow Palatino is always showing both as closed. If I uncomment \usepackage[sc]{mathpazo} then they are rendered correctly. How can I fix this?

To change the font in tables, use the etoolbox package to modify \@tabular:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sc,osf]{mathpazo}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\preto\@tabular{\fontfamily{pplx}\selectfont}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
OSF: 0123456789
\begin{tabular}{l}
0123456789
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
There's probably something in your preamble messing things, because, by default, the italics of Palatino match the height of the roman:
Here's the code I used:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
\parindent=0em
\begin{document}
\textit{is expected to integrate with current}\par
xt three propositions (\textit{A softw}\par
\textit{software architecture quality} \textbf{(P2)},\par
\textbf{(P4))} are also confirmed: en\par
\end{document}

With a minimal example like:
I'm getting the following results:
With the standard font:
With
[sc]{mathpazo}:As you can see the lines of the quotes point in the same direction in both cases (opening quotes point to the upper right and the closing quotes to the lower left corner) and the opening and closing quotes are different. However with
mathpazothey are much similar as with the standard computer modern.If this is the same result you are getting I guess this is by design with this font and not incorrect. I don't think you can replace just the quotation characters of a font, so if you don't like them you have to use another font.
If you get something different, please post a minimal example (or refer to mine) and post links to the result like I did.
