We are talking 121 airlines here. Unless your airline has a SPECIFIC policy which allows the SIC to "perform the duties of pilot in command while under the supervision of a pilot in command" you are not going to be able to use this clause.
Some airlines have programs to accomplish this, but if your company doesn't you can't just go declare yourself the "acting PIC".
