It's still SDF ...
 
You may be a bit confused as that is the IATA-naming, while the ICAO is KSDF.
 
"K" means an airport in the USA, and they just prefix the IATA-code with it.
 
In other parts of the world it's different, for example:
 
Brussels         IATA > BRU      ICAO > EBBR       (EB > Belgium)
Amsterdam        IATA > AMS      ICAO > EHAM       (EH > Netherlands)
London Heathrow  IATA > LHR      ICAO > EGLL       (EG > Great Britain)
Paris De Gaulle  IATA > CDG      ICAO > LFPG       (LF > France)
Frankfurt        IATA > FRA      ICAO > EDDF       (ED > Germany)
Madrid           IATA > MAD      ICAO > LEMD       (LE > Spain)
 
Etc etc etc ...
