Seems rather cumbersome. Why not define an extra check command?

# 'check_https' command definition
define command{
~        command_name    check_https
~        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -S
~        }

Or even one to keep an eye out on the certificate:

# 'check_https_cert' command definition
define command{
~        command_name    check_https_cert
~        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -S -C 14
~        }

The last one I check only once an hour or once a day pe.r server

Never put things in a service definition if you are going to need them a
lot. Create the proper command definition to aid you.
