Can I travel to Poland to my husband without a Schengen visa or residence card?

In short, no, but you should be able to get a Schengen visa without charge and quickly.

South Africans require a visa to enter the Schengen area. Visa nationals are exempted from this requirement if they have a residence card indicating that they are a family member of an EU/EEA national.

Family members without such a card still enjoy the right of freedom of movement under EU law, when traveling with or joining their EU/EEA family member, except that they still require a visa.

Since you don’t yet have that card, you need a visa.

The visa is supposed to be issued free of charge, and through an expedited process. Your best course of action, therefore, is probably to apply for a visa at the Polish consulate.
