Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be an uncountable discrete topological space.
Then $T$ is not $\sigma$-compact.
Proof
We have that an Uncountable Discrete Space is not Lindelöf.
But a $\sigma$-compact space is Lindelöf.
So an uncountable discrete space can not be $\sigma$-compact.
$\blacksquare$
