You can have a lawyer defend you, identifying his client as "Tom C." After all, that's how the subpoena will identify you. If necessary, you can secretly reveal your identity to the judge for his/her decision, but it's not likely to be necessary. I'm not even sure of the appropriate legal grounds for challenging (quashing) such a subpoena, but I can assure you I'd find some if SI told me they were about to "give me up" without a fight.

You can appear through a lawyer who refuses to disclose your true identity -- a John Doe response. The Court should allow that, but may not.
