Remember how Scar brought the Hyenas food after their (failed) attempt to kill cub Nala and cub Simba?
For them, that was just a small preview of how much food they’d get if Scar was king and they were all living in the Pride Lands.
Scar also says "Stick with me, and you’ll never go hungry again!" This implies that Scar was promising the Hyenas a chance to lead a very comfortable life if they’d only help Scar rule the Pride Lands.
But if they wouldn’t help him, they wouldn’t "get a sniff." As in, they’d have no food. So for the Hyenas, Scar means a source of food.. (and he did become one in the end)
