Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

A standard error is calculated for an estimate, such as the estimated mean value of an indicator. The procedure to calculate a standard error is the same for any subpopulation (unless you use Bayesian methods for nested populations).

Are you trying to match a number in a DHS report? Are you interested in some specific indicator?
