If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Hithlain Knots tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You won't scry 1, and you won't draw a card. However, if the target is legal but doesn't become tapped (most likely because it's already tapped), you do scry 1, and you do draw a card.
