Obama is going to visit Scalia as he lies in state on Friday.
And, the job of the VP is to attend functions like this. Additionally, Biden is going to the funeral because Scalia was a Catholic, and so is Biden.
The extent of any informal roles and functions of the vice president depend on the specific relationship between the president and the vice president, but often include tasks such as drafter and spokesperson for the administration's policies, adviser to the president, and being a symbol of American concern or support. The influence of the vice president in this role depends almost entirely on the characteristics of the particular administration.

Nothing to see here but a lot of faux outrage.
