I'm looking for a good low magic system to use for a game I'd like to run. So far I'm thinking of using the Lord of the rings rules for d&d 5e.

There's always GURPS.

Are you talking about the Istari (aka Gandalf & Co) or just the equivalent of a magic-user in LotR? In the case of the latter; there aren't any. There IS "magic", but not nearly enough to base a class around it, and it doesn't work the way traditional D&D magic does.

What's happening with SoS right now? Haven't seen anything about it in ages.

Why not just use the actual LotR game instead?

GURPS
Basic + Martial Arts + Low Tech
Fantasy and/or Banestorm to add a little magic
Cherrypick stuff from Dungeon Fantasy line
Low Tech Companion line if you want to get really gritty.
Better Fantasy Armor (not official product, google it) if you think LT armor is too expensive.
