No, you cannot put any better bound than S<sub>N</sub>&nbsp;=&nbsp;*o*(N). There is a general technique, using the [Baire category theorem][1] of proving the existence of counterexamples to problems like this (which I discovered while trying to find a counterexample to a question by David Speyer, [link][2]). I see that Helge's answer is also pointing towards the same result.

First, for &theta; irrational,
$$
S_N/N=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N1_{\{0< n\theta <1/2{\rm\ (mod\ 1)}\}}-\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N1_{\{1/2< n\theta <1{\rm\ (mod\ 1)}\}}
$$
By [Weyl's equidistribution theorem][3], both sides on the right hand side tend to 1/2 and S<sub>N</sub>&nbsp;/&nbsp;N&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;0, so S<sub>N</sub>&nbsp;=&nbsp;*o*(N).

It is not possible to do better than this. In fact, if f:&nbsp;&#x02115;&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;&#x0211D;<sup>+</sup> is any function satisfying liminf&nbsp;f(N)&nbsp;/&nbsp;N&nbsp;=&nbsp;0 then there will be an uncountable dense set of irrational &theta; for which limsup&nbsp;S<sub>N</sub>&nbsp;/&nbsp;f(N)&nbsp;=&nbsp;&infin;. In particular, using f(n)&nbsp;=&nbsp;n<sup>x</sup> for x&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;1 rules out bounds such as S<sub>n</sub>&nbsp;=&nbsp;*O*(n<sup>x</sup>).
In fact, we can find a set of such &theta; as an intersection of countably many open dense subsets of &#x0211D;, so the Baire category theorem shows the existence of uncountably many counterexamples.

Let u(x)&nbsp;=&nbsp;1<sub>{0&le;[x]&lt;1/2}</sub>&nbsp;-&nbsp;1<sub>{1/2&le;[x]&lt;1}</sub> where [x] is the fractional part of x, and S<sub>N</sub>(&theta;)&nbsp;=&nbsp;&Sigma;<sub>n&le;N</sub>&nbsp;u(n&theta;). Let U<sub>K</sub> be the set
$$
U_K=\left\{\theta\in\mathbb{R}\colon S_n(\theta)>Kf(n){\rm\ for\ some\ }n\ge K\right\}.
$$
This contains a dense open subset of &#x0211D;. In fact, if &theta;&nbsp;=&nbsp;p/q for q odd then, for 1&nbsp;&le;&nbsp;n&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;q, u((n-q)&theta;)&nbsp;&nbsp;=&nbsp;-u(q&theta;). So, S<sub>q-1</sub>(&theta;)&nbsp;=&nbsp;0 and S<sub>q</sub>(&theta;)&nbsp;=&nbsp;1. Then, by periodicity of [n&theta;], S<sub>nq</sub>&nbsp;(&theta;)&nbsp;=&nbsp;n and S<sub>n</sub>(&theta;) increases linearly. So, S<sub>n</sub>(&theta;)&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Kf(n) for infinitely many n, and &theta;&nbsp;&isin;&nbsp;U<sub>K</sub>. By right continuity of u, (&theta;,&theta;+&epsilon;)&nbsp;&sube;&nbsp;U<sub>K</sub> for small enough &epsilon;. This shows that (p/q,p/q+&epsilon;) is contained in the interior of U<sub>K</sub> and, as such p/q are dense, the interior of U<sub>K</sub> is a dense open subset of &#x0211D;. The Baire category theorem implies that
$$
U\equiv\bigcap_{K=1}^\infty U_K
$$
is an uncountable dense subset of &#x0211D; and, by construction, for any &theta;&nbsp;&isin;&nbsp;U, limsup S<sub>n</sub>(&theta;)&nbsp;/&nbsp;f(n)&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;K for each K.
