They're not really interchangeable in this case. "I see the wood." would be referring to a pile of logs or scraps of wood. "I see the woods." is how you would refer to a group of trees.

As a rule of thumb, the 'Swedish' pronunciation (as in skjorta) applies for
sch, sj, skj, stj - regardless what vowel follows
sk - if followed by e, i, y, ö or ä
-sion, -tion endings
There are exceptions to these rules (e.g. handske) and some of this may also vary with dialect (at least I was told so...)
There are some good links in the overview thread: www.duolingo.com/comment/5892805
