I definitely agree with Jverb08 as far as whether or not Derek's death would cause Scott to become the Alpha - as Peter bit Scott, Derek's death does nothing but traumatize the poor boy.

One thing I keep coming back to is Deaton's discussion with Scott about not fighting, but "leading". Peter and Derek commented once that Deucalion is something along the lines of a leader Alpha (I don't recall the exact wording, but similar) that can get a pack of Alphas to cooperate. If Scott has this "leader" gene, shall we call it, that would explain Deucalion's plans to kill Scott.

Another consideration - all other werewolves (that became actual werewolves, not crazy Argents that killed themselves) that we have seen, for the most part, were either born a werewolf or voluntarily became one. Scott had no say in the matter, and therefore rejected it to an extent. Perhaps this gained reluctance created something more unique that would cause him to become an Alpha on his own.
