Septic tanks are full of living bacteria breaking down solid human waste into a liquid that then drains into your septic field usually. Hydrochloric acid is pretty hostile and will disrupt many of the bacteria from doing their work by killing them. You can use it, but it isn't a good idea and you definitely don't want to over use it.
