As Lisa995 said, except for the purpose of a self-employed health insurance deduction, you are an employee of the S corp, not self employed. The S corp must make the employer contribution to your SEP-IRA. SEP contributions are limited to no more than 25% of compensation and must be the same percentage of each eligible employee's compensation (up to the first $270,000 of each employee's compensation).
SEP contributions are employer contributions, so the S corp gets the deduction on the S corp's tax return. If the S corp has not made a SEP contribution for 2018, unless the S corp requested a filing extension, the deadline of March 15, 2019 to make the contribution has already passed for a calendar-year S corp.
