You don't......
The BLK file is for skins in a game, and here is some info on your SCM file, you must first convert it to a file that APPInventor2 utilizes, here's info: SCM files
Once you have these files, you could make it so you can download the file in it's virgin format from the app or convert them into a file format utilized in app inventor 2 and use them that way..
What exactly are you trying to do?

@Marine: App Inventor Classic used blk and scm files internally, you can see these files after unzipping an App Inventor source file (which is in zip format)



in App Inventor 2 we have bky, scm and yail files instead

which means, the question seems to be, how can I convert an App Inventor Classic source file (zip format) into an App Inventor 2 aia file?

use the conversion tool, more information see here http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/classic.html

Use this tool to convert an AI Classic zip project file to an AI2 aia project file.

Also, if your project got unzipped during download,
try to re-download it without opening it up.

Unzipping and rezipping a project sometimes breaks it,
unless you are using 7-zip.
