In general, "S" mint marks from the San Fransisco mint are more scarce than other mint marks when it comes to pennies. But just because it has an "S" on it doesn't make it a rare, or even scarce coin.

It depends on what the date is. Remember, unlike other coins minted in Philadelphia since 1980, ALL cents minted there since pennies were first made in 1793 don't have mint marks. If you're in the western US most cents there come from the Denver mint and have a small D, but from the Mississippi eastward the majority are from Philadelphia and have no mint marks.
