I have a shareholder with suspended losses for 2007 due to zero basis. The S corp has a general business credit and my question is does this need to be suspended and carried forward as well since the shareholder has no basis?

I'll attempt to answer my own question here: the credit is also a non-deductible expense by the business. Since basis has to be reduced by the n/d expenses first, then I think we cannot take the credit until we have the basis available to reduce it by this expense. Anyone agree/disagree?

The GBC is limited by the at-risk rules. See Section 49. Also see Code Sec. 49(a)(1)(E)(ii) which provides that recourse financing on GBC property is treated as borrowed by the S shareholder.
