Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of sour cream weighs 4.79 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171257 “Cream, sour, cultured”, portion “1 cup” = 230 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.

3/4 US teaspoon of sour cream is also 1/4 US tablespoon — the same 3.59 grams.
This is the level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. A recipe written for the metric teaspoon of 5 ml means 1.4 % more: 3.65 grams.
How 3/4 teaspoon of sour cream was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of sour cream weighs 4.79 grams (four point seven nine), so multiply 3/4 by (230 ÷ 48).
3/4 × (230 ÷ 48) g
≈3.59 grams
(three point five nine grams)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171257 “Cream, sour, cultured”, portion “1 cup” = 230 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a teaspoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many teaspoons a weight fills
This page starts from teaspoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many teaspoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to teaspoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of sour cream is 20.9 teaspoons there.
