If your code uses SqlConnection objects, then it needs an SQL Server instance in order to work. However, you could change your code to use a different database system.
However...if you need this to work in a multiuser environment, then you need a server based system such as SQL Server or MySql - although you can use Access as a multiuser DB it always gives horrible problems and is really not worth the effort.
If you only need single user access they SQLite or Access should work fine - but you will need to change your code to use the appropriate objects, and may have to revise some of your SQL code to match the new DB as not all systems work in the same way.

There is no "magic bullet" that will let you use SQL Server without having it installed somewhere in the network that is accessible to your application.
