The two commands are not similar at all, except that they all do copy from A to B. scp is limited:
not so many options compared to rsync
not optimized
can't resume if copy fails
etc.
The only thing that scp has over rsync is that it's secure by default. But if you're concerned about security (I think everyone should be), you can use rsync --rsh=ssh to secure rsync.
