The hardest thing for me with this build is sometimes killing the opponents scv which is building a barrack or factory, if they have other units attacking the reaper. Once the building is far enough along, I find the scv impossible to attack, since the reaper priortizes the scvs or marines attacking it. I´ve lost more than a few games where I got the enemy scv health down to like 5, but I couldnt get my reaper to take another shot at it. I guess you can work with the camera angles and zoom etc, but i find it almost impossible in some situations. Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

try to move your reaper(s) into a position that's in range of the building scv but not in range of the attacking units and use hold position micro to stutter step. other than that it's just good micro and smart maneuvering

Are there any builds that blind counter this?

Any standard terran build other than CC first does fine vs this with proper micro. Keep in mind that you can afford to lose a couple of SCVs, especially after you know he's on 2 barracks.

A blind counter is probably something like early 2 rax reaper (11 rax, 11 gas, 13 rax), but it's not really good vs other builds. Just learning the timing when the reaper hits and pulling enough SCVs is the best counter.

So basically this build only works if your opponent has terrible micro or goes CC first?
