Only environment variables are supported for app settings and connection strings.

You need to make sure that the environment variable AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection is set on your Function's app settings in the portal:

and then once there, you need to add the AzureWebJobsAzureSBConnection variable with the proper connection string:

and then you can access this via code by:

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(name, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);

This will obtain the value from either the appsettings.json or the environment variable depending on where the function is being executed from, (local debugging or deployed on Azure)
