There may be a better way but this works.  Use \addtocounter{equation} 
{-1} after the equation and before the subequation.  Here it is:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,chapterprefix,abstracton]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation} \label{eq:1}
\underline{M} \ \underline{\ddot{u}} + \underline{C} \ \underline{\dot 
{u}} + \underline{S} \ \underline{u} = \underline{f}
\end{equation}
\addtocounter{equation}{-1}
\begin{subequations}
   \begin{align}
     u &= \left(\begin{array}{c}u_1 \\ \vdots \\ u_k \\ \vdots \\ u_N 
\end{array}\right) \label{eq:1A} \\
     u &= \left(\begin{array}{c}u_2 \\ \vdots \\ u_k \\ \vdots \\ u_N 
\end{array}\right) \label{eq:1B}
   \end{align}
\end{subequations}

\end{document}
