I am of the opinion that "scrap paper" is a bit of paper probably torn from another piece of paper and used to record something in haste such as a phone number - while "scratch paper" on the other hand is blank paper probably in pad form which is used for work such as computation. The additional paper used while taking an examination on which intermediate problem-solving work is done but which is not taken into account in the grading of the exam is scratch paper.
