This will update your data into what you wished

data=data.groupby(['colA','colB']).agg(list)

I don't know why you want to make multindex, but you can simply sort_values or use groupby.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"ColumnA":['a','c','a','e','c','c'],
                 "ColumnB":['b','d','b','f','d','d'],
                 "ColumnC":['SD100','SD200','SD300','SD400','SD500','SD600']})
print(df)

      ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
    0       a       b   SD100
    1       c       d   SD200
    2       a       b   SD300
    3       e       f   SD400
    4       c       d   SD500
    5       c       d   SD600

df = df.sort_values(by=['ColumnA','ColumnB'])
df.set_index(['ColumnA', 'ColumnB','ColumnC'], inplace=True)
df

You can try:

  Column A Column B Column C
0        a        b    SD100
1        c        d    SD200
2        a        b    SD300
3        e        f    SD400
4        c        d    SD500
5        c        d    SD600

>>> df.groupby(['Column A', 'Column B']).agg(list)
                                Column C
Column A Column B
a        b                [SD100, SD300]
c        d         [SD200, SD500, SD600]
e        f                       [SD400]
