Shear Center is a point through which if the external load passes, then there will not be any twisting of the section.
(It is also called Centre of twist)
The section will only be subjected to bending. It won't be subjected to Torsion.
In an Unsymmetrical section, if the external applied forces act at the centroid or any other point (but not Shear Center) of the section, then in addition to bending, twisting is also produced.
To avoid twisting, and causing only bending, it is necessary for the force to act through a particular point (which may not coincide with the centroid). The position of this point is the function only of the beam Geometry, and this point is termed as Shear Center.
