The US Supreme Court was only given original jurisdiction over cases involving ambassadors and other public consuls and in disputes between the states. Congress passed a law requiring cases involving ambassadors to be tried in the US District Courts, under the theory that the Supreme Court lacks exclusive jurisdiction over these cases. The Supreme Court does, however, have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the states.
So the answer is, the US Supreme Court does not have original jurisdiction over any class of case not mentioned in the first paragraph.
