You're thinking backwards. scp_1.sh should simply expect two arguments all the time. scp_2.sh should read the arguments from a file and pass them to scp_1.sh. Something like this:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
read arg1 arg2 < /path/to/a_file
/path/to/scp_1.sh $arg1 $arg2
exit $?
$? is the exit code from scp_1, so that "exit $?" just makes scp_2.sh duplicate scp_1.sh's exit code.

SHCOMP(1) Korn shell utilities SHCOMP(1)
NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with
the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn-
ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
EXIT STATUS
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
