The CC-SA license requires that attribution to the creator be included as well as all future licenses that are assigned to reused work must carry similar and/or compatible elements as the original license.
CC-BY-NC requires that reuse is for non-commercial purposes only and that attribution is included.

CC-BY-ND allows for work to be reused, even for commercial purposes, as long as no adaptations have been made and attribution is given to the creator of the work.
