If I understand correctly matlab's stairs function
(http://www.math.carleton.ca/old/help/matlab/MathWorks_R13Doc/techdoc/ref/stairs.html)
you should use plot2d2.

Try:
--> x = 0:.25:10;
--> plot2d2(x,sin(x));

BTW I have found this very simply: type 'step' in the 'search' tab of
scilab's help.

Technically speaking plot2d2 is just a plot2d with a special
polyline_style (see help :).

I don't know exactly what these options are supposed to do (I don't have
matlab) but you should be able to find out the right options to plot2d2.

Hope that helps (if it's still needed),
Mathieu
