Morals are definitely based on social norms. To borrow from wiki:
"Morals are arbitrarily created and subjectively defined by society, philosophy, religion, and/or individual conscience."
While many laws may be based on social norms, there are plenty (as you've said) which aren't. For example, many laws that govern big business obviously can't have been introduced because of social norms, because those situations aren't applicable to the public at large. If they were based on what big business was considering normal, then they wouldn't exist at all.
