COMMENTS
The row lengths sequence is 3*n+1 = A016777(n).
For the coefficient triangle for Chebyshev's S polynomials see A049310.
The o.g.f. for S(n,x)^3, n >= 0, is GS(3;x,z) = (1+z^2+2*z*x)/ ((1+z^2-z*x)*(1+z^2-z*x*(x^2-3))). This is obtained from the de Moivre-Binet formula for S(n,x) and the binomial theorem.
In general the monic integer Chebyshev polynomial tau(n,x):= R(2*n+1,x)/x enters, where R(n,x) = 2*T(n,x/2) with Chebyshev's T polynomial (for R see A127672), and the coefficient triangle for tau is given in A111125 (here for the third power of S only tau(0,x) = 1 and tau(1,x) = x^2 - 3 enter).
FORMULA
a(n,m) = [x^m] S(n, x)^3, n >= 0, 0 <= m <= 3*n, with Chebyshev's S polynomials (see A049310).
a(n,m) = [x^m]([z^n] GS(3;x,z)), with the o.g.f. GS(3;x,z) given above in a comment.
The row polynomials p(n, x) := Sum_{m=0..3*n} a(n,m)*x^m = S(n, x)^3 are (S(3*n+2, x) - 3*S(n, x))/(x^2 - 4). For the factorization of S polynomials see comments on A049310. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 09 2018
