Electronic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is essential for various newly discovered phenomena in condensed-matter systems. In particular, one-dimensional topological heterostructures with SOC have been widely investigated in both theory and experiment for their distinct transport signatures indicating the presence of emergent Majorana fermions. However, a general framework for the SOC-affected transport in superconducting heterostructures, especially with the consideration of interfacial effects, has not been developed even regardless of the topological aspects. We hereby provide one for an effectively one-dimensional superconductor-normal heterostructure with nonuniform magnitude and direction of both Rashba and Dresselhaus SOC as well as a spin-orbit-active interface. We extend the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk treatment to analyze the current-voltage relation and obtain a rich range of transport behaviors. Our work provides a basis for characterizing fundamental physics arising from spin-orbit interactions in heterostructures and its implications for topological systems, spintronic applications, and a whole variety of experimental setups.
