Being a Site Collection Administrator does not matter. You need to enable Access Requests for the site.

To enable Access Requests manually, go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Users and Permissions > Site permissions, then click Manage Access Requests. Click the checkbox for Allow requests for access and set the email address.

To enable Access Requests programmatically, set the SPWeb.RequestAccessEmail property.
