Testing for sysadmin is not really the right thing to do in this case. Best practice is to use the lowest possible permissions needed to complete a task.
The permission needed is ALTER ANY CREDENTIAL and you should test for this. It is possible to grant this permission to any user, so you do not need to be a Sysadmin in order to create a credential.
