Simple answer is, you can't. There's no concept of in-built distributed transactions here. Also table storage has limited transaction support.

Here's what I would suggest: Rely on triggers in SQL Server and copy the old data in your SQL Server table to another table (let's call it backup table) in the same SQL Server using these triggers. Then have a background process poll this backup table and push the data in table storage. Once the data is pushed into table storage, remove the items from the backup table.
