Hi, Percy. If your map unit is in meters (m) but want your scale bar to display kilometers (km), one way to do this in Composer would be to set some parameters in the "Scale bar" dialogue (under the "Item" tab when you have the scale bar selected).
Assume that you want your scale bar to show one kilometer only. You can set the "Segment size (map units)" to be 1000, and the "Map units per bar unit" to be 1000 as well. Set "1 Right segments" and "0 Left segments." That should give you a scale bar with one tick equivalent to 1 kilometer in length. Finally, set the "Unit label" to "Kilometer" or "km" or something like that. I hope it works for you!
