Here are two methods to add site collection administrator to OneDrive for Business site collection.

1.Go to SharePoint Admin Center -> More features -> User profiles -> Select the user profile you want -> Manage site collection owners -> Click browser -> Select the people you want.

2.You could use following PowerShell to achieve this.

$AdminSiteURL="https://tenant-admin.sharepoint.com"
$OneDriveSiteUrl="https://tenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/emily_tenant_com"
$SiteCollAdmin="******@tenant.com"
 
#Get Credentials to connect to SharePoint Admin Center
$Cred = Get-Credential
 
#Connect to SharePoint Online Admin Center
Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminSiteURL -credential $Cred
 
#Add Site Collection Admin to the OneDrive
Set-SPOUser -Site $OneDriveSiteUrl -LoginName $SiteCollAdmin -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $True
Write-Host "Site Collection Admin Added Successfully!"
