As we have learnt,

In heterolytic cleavage, the more Electronegative atom holds the negative charge while the more electropositive element holds the positive charge.

The correct cleavages are:

(1) \mathrm{CH_3-SCH_3 \longrightarrow CH_3^+ + SCH_3^-}

(2) \mathrm{CH_3-CN \longrightarrow CH_3^+ + CN^-}

(3) \mathrm{CH_3-Cu \longrightarrow CH_3^- + Cu^+}

(4) \mathrm{CH_3-Br \longrightarrow CH_3^+ + Br^-}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
