It really depends on what your definition of a criminal is; after the war the SS was declared a criminal organisation, so they were all criminals. But yes, for example the commandant of Auschwitz had spent time in prison.

Were there any good Nazis SS?

Not very many, however there may be a few, depending on your definition of "good". The SS is associated with genocide & other war crimes. After the war, few Germans were willing to admit they even served in the Waffen-SS (ground combat forces), and very few would admit they served in the SS Concentation/Death Camp guard units. The SS Camp guards were subject to being tried as war criminals, because of the genocide done there. The Waffen-SS soldiers & leaders could be prosecuted for war crimes if they participated in the killing of civilians or POWs in their custody. Many Waffen-SS units did commit these war crimes, especially on the Eastern Front. There is much more info available in books & internet.
