How to copy a sparse file using scp?

Do we have any option in scp that I could copy a sparse file ?

The following command works with ssh, But I am looking for an option in SCP which copies a sparse file.

tar -Szcf - /home/myself/test/ | \
  ssh myself@myserver 'tar -C /home/myself/test_scp -zvxf -'

scp doesn't support sparse files. Use rsync instead.

rsync -aS /home/myself/test/ myself@myserver:
