Last time I checked, SMC does not provide a coding interface for creating/registering metadata library, the following link give you an example of doing what you need using EG or Base SAS,

I've never used Teradata, but I'm surprised you need 70 metadata folders, 70 connections and 70 authentication domains. It is considered good practice to put database connections into one metadata folder unless your security model requires more restrictions. Also if you are using only one Teradata server, wouldn't you just create one connection to that? And you should normally only need one authentication domain for all libraries.
