Can't get Normal map to show with SSS on.

Here are few screens attached.

With SSS ON - normal map isn't seen

Normal Map solo

Subsurface scattering does not include normal/bump by design. You can get it to do so by enabling SSS autobump.

Incidentally, you would expect to see the bump/normal primarily in the specular, which is not apparent in your render.
