礒 is in nikkoku (along with 石, although I'm not sure if that would be helpful to add). Normally we apply [sK] if a form is rare and only appears in this ref. 礒 fits both criteria.
If nikkoku-only forms don't get any counts at all, then we usually don't add them.

A more meaningful statistical comparison... いその (Apparently japanese people like the smell of the shore, 磯の香り is a surprisingly common hit).

  Comments:
Just ran into a more diverse term for comparison.  The less-common kanji is definitely sprinkled about everywhere いそ is used.  "礒の香り" is still 0.5% (1/2 percent).

  Comments:
Absolutely no other terms in jmdict use 礒 in words. 

礒 not listed under 磯 in daijs. (not in sankoku, but not surprising)

Popularity of 礒 appears to be based on its existence in *names* (same meaning, same readings in names). Very common in names, well represented in news entries.

Is used on twitter occasionally. Without dictionary support, seems best to treat as "incorrect" usage.
