There are several cases where one might wonder whether a lower case letter used in words is actually anything but a glyph variant, but an upper case letter has nevertheless been created; in several cases the evidence presented for the typical upper case form seems to have been Michael Everson's taste. Given those precedents, the only argument I can see against an upper case s-j would be evidence that it does not change form when capitalised. If my memory serves me right, it is the lower casing that Unicode cannot correct; if s-j uppercased to S-J when first encoded, the untailored uppercasing could still be changed to the 2-character string SJ if that turned out to be the majority use.
