Not any more, unless the sump is located in a finished area of the basement. Not many are. In 2008 the exception for dedicated equipment was removed, except for burglar alarms and fire alarms systems. FYI, smoke alarms aren't fire alarms, so even those wouldn't qualify.
The NEC is pretty specific - not a lot of room for interpreting it for 'intent'. It's worth checking to see what edition of the NEC your locality uses. I am meeting or exceeding 2008 - but my town only requires 2005 - that will probably change this year, but for now.....
Hmmm...that's an interesting idea. Could probably use a snap-switch as the disconnect too.
