it should be
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/i386/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml and not
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

Just had an other user reporting such a problem. See SL user mailing list "yum update fails due to 
sl.repo"


Normally in /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo there is a line

baseurl=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/$basearch/SL/RPMS/

yum should set $basearch=i386 ending up with

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/i386/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

and not with

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

What's inside your /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo?
