You don't. Daytraders only use Sch C for expenses, not
income.

I'm not working at any outside job, but I am trying to earn
money by day/swing trading. At what point (a certain number
of trades, a certain number of hours spent, etc.) would I
have to pay self-employment taxes?

Thank you in advance for any information.
