Check out 'TTY Keys' in the orgmode manual.

,---- [ (org) TTY keys ]
| 15.9 Using Org on a tty
| =======================
|
| Org provides alternative key bindings for TTY and modern mobile
| devices
| that cannot handle cursor keys and complex modifier key chords.  Some
| of
| these workarounds may be more cumbersome than necessary.  Users should
| look into customizing these further based on their usage needs.  For
| example, the normal ‘S-<cursor>’ for editing timestamp might be better
| with ‘C-c .’ chord. [...]
`----

Checking org-agenda-do-date-later, I see
,----
| org-agenda-do-date-later is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| ‘../org-mode/lisp/org-agenda.el’.
| 
| It is bound to <S-right>, C-c C-x <right>, <menu-bar> <Agenda>
| <Deadline/Schedule> <Change Time +1 hour>.
`----

So C-c C-x <right> should be a tty friendly alternative to <S-right>.
