Mind you, I still think he can handle MS Sasuke without Sage Mode, but it would be far more difficult.

So, if Jiraiya has enough room to access his SM, he wins with Low to Mid difficulty. If they're fighting in an open field with nowhere for him to hide, then it's gonna be a lot more difficult, but I think he could still take Sasuke out. His Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld can take care of Sasuke's snake summons. His Fire Sealing Method can seal Amaterasu. Sasuke's still a noob with Susanoo at this point and can't really keep it up for long periods of time due to how taxing it is, so Jiraiya can probably summon a toad for distraction and land a Rasengan on him. But I dont think swamps capture Sasuke inside SusanoO since a lot of earth style users in kage summit never did anything similar and also its a special kind of chakra as sasuke said " a power of MS" about SusanoO description. So I highly doubt pulling from underground would work. SusanoO has gigantic strength feats good enough to beat jiraiya even with prep and sage mode active. SusanoO could easily survive the combined attacks of gaara temari kankuro and storm element kekkei genkai user-darui's assault without earning a scratch so I highly doubt jiraiya would survive atleast 10 minutes since danzo with wood element cell durability was getting shitted on by the grasp of SusanoO. I also wonder why nagato didnt absorb SusanoO.....Maybe its a different type of chakra?
