Is it possible to rename a file after building it in Sublime Text 3? By default, the output is the same as the input; so filename.scss is built to filename.css. But what if I want filename.scss.css by default (to indicate that this file is based off of a scss file). Is this possible?

Yes. Read through the Build Systems Reference for details. First, there are several variables you can use. $file is the reference to the full path of the current file, say /home/foo/test.php. There is also $filepath (/home/foo), $file_name (test.php), $file_extension (php), $file_base_name (test), and some others. You can also use regexes just about anywhere inside curly braces ($file is the same as ${file}). For example, ${file/\.php/\.txt/} will rename its suffix from .php to .txt (/home/foo/test.txt). ${filepath/testing/production} changes the directory. Here are several combined in a contrived example:
"cmd": ["myprocessor", "--infile", "$file", "--outfile", "/mnt/${project_name}/var/www/assets/${file_base_name/test/final}.css"],
...
For your particular case, this should work:
"cmd": ["myprocessor", "--infile", "$file", "--outfile", "$filepath/$file_name.css"],
should take /path/to/yourfile.scss and spit out the processed /path/to/yourfile.scss.css if that's what you want.
