Normally, you would lose an earnest money deposit with your application and not a "security deposit" because you did not yet sign a lease. It depends what your application or binder agreement says. Do you have one to refer to? If you gave the deposit as both, earnest money deposit to secure your deal and later to be used as the actual security deposit, then you can lose it.
Talk to a local attorney to see if you have a chance of getting your money back.
