So... what are the good tactics against it? Because I don't think I'll have the medkits to handle two...

The way to go is Heavy(s) with either metal storm or rockets. Remember, the "double damage against robots" works with rockets. It might be a good idea to bring two heavies in late game just to blow up sectopods.
Use rockets, then have Assult charge in with Lightning Reflexes, Run&Gun, Killer Instinct AND Rapid Fire.
Rapid Fire is key. Two shots in one turn is worth it.
The truth is the Sectopod is the only enemy you had to spec your soldiers around. In fact the Heavy seem to be born purely as a Sectopod kiler.
