The 'so' as in "he is so good" is mainly for emphasis, and might also indicate that there is an explanation of just how good he is, i.e. "he is so good, that [..]".
See also the usage notes here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/so#Adverb
The difference between so and very in implied-extent usage is that very is more descriptive or matter-of-fact, while so indicates more emotional involvement. For example, she is very clever is a simple statement of opinion; she is so clever suggests admiration.
