You would define a rel uri for SCIM.   The SCIM entry can have sub properties if it supported more than one auth type,  or you could have a SCIM discovery document that the URI points to.

There are probably multiple ways to do it.

I don’t think trying to have a oauth rel and then sub types is going to make sense to developers.  It is also not a good fit for Webfinger.

I also suspect that SCIM is more naturally part of a authentication service It may be that the authentication service points at the SCIM service.

Remember that webfinger is a account alias and may not be the subject that the SP/RP knows the user as.

Each service will need to be thought through for webfinger as the account identity may mean different things depending on the protocol, and not every protocol needs per user discovery.
