Playing around with security groups a bit last night, and I guess there's no API for changing the name or description of a SG. However if you change the description of an SG and run the plan and apply actions everything goes through without a hitch implying that it's possible to change the description.

provider/aws: SG description should be ForceNew

Description cannot be handled in Update (there is no ModifySecurityGroup
API call), so we have to recreate to change the description.

Closes #1870

Thanks for the report. We do have a mechanism for handling attributes that cannot be updated - Terraform sees changes to these attributes as forcing a recreate of the resource. So it was just an oversight not to turn that flag on for SG descriptions. Attached PR will fix that. 👍
