She wants the pride for herself. She doesn't want to share it with Ismene especially Ismene didn't help bury Polynieces.

Additionally, Antigone is a care-giver. She is the only one of Oedipus' children to accompany him into exile and ease his last days. It is consistent with her character to not allow her sister to take the blame for her actions, which would result in her sister's death. It would have been different if Ismene actually had committed the act, but since she refused, Ismene deserved neither the fate nor the glory.
