For most carriers, the typical noise abatement profile would be to climb to 3000' [AGL] in the takeoff flap configuration; unless you have an engine failure this SID's altitude profile would not be an issue. Of greater concern would be NOT to cross the SMO Radial-154 above 3000feet, especially if you were lightweight and climbing like a rocket. Assuming a typical V2+10 speed of 200Kts in the takeoff configuration [B74], your rate of climb would well exceed the depicted 833 feet per minute.
