What are the dependencies of sssd to function as an LDAP-client?

Package:

as binary:

        libpcre.so.1 => /lib64/libpcre.so.1 (0x00007f34b267c000)

So, it requires openldap to function:

[root@giomacdesk ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides /lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2
openldap-2.4.35-5.fc19.x86_64

What are the dependencies of nscd to function as an LDAP-client?

as binary, nscd is part of glibc and requires only on small subsys components, it isn't client at all, not for ldap, not for dns either.

[root@giomacdesk ~]# ldd /usr/sbin/nscd
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff06bbb000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f56619da000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007f56617c1000)
        libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007f566159d000)
        libaudit.so.1 => /lib64/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007f5661377000)

Does sssd need openldap to function as an LDAP-client? Does nscd?

as application, nscd it is caching daemon and keeps cache of nss, which will not require openldap, but you need some ldap source for nss data (/etc/nsswitch.conf), this can be sssd or ldap. sssd will require openldap as binary too.
