'Scooch' combines "scoot" which is to move, especially over, and scrunch, which indicates a crowding. So by using it, (and it is informal) the person is acknowledging that they are asking you to crowd yourself a bit more by scooting over to make room for them

Etymology

() Perhaps a portmanteau from scoot and inch (so as to describe a movement both rapid and short).
