You can generally set up a telephonic court appearance through a service called courtcall. You can also try calling the court clerk and explain your situation. The clerk may be willing to adjust the court's calendar to accommodate you.

Very often the Courts will cooperate with a one time rescheduling. You need to confer with the opposing party if there is one. Then call the calendar clerk of the department. Some Court's may require an ex parte hearing to reschedule.

You can contact the clerk of the court in which the matter is scheduled to be heard and request they change the date. The difficulty is that if the Order to show cause is requiring your appearance typically you didn't do something that the rules or the court required and that is the reason the court scheduled an Order to show cause to begin with and therefore the court may not be real receptive to moving the hearing date.

You may be able to do it by Stipulation and Order of the court. If that is not an option, you can try to do it by an Ex Parte Motion. If you are in Pro Per you will need to inquire as to your court's policy re this matter. If you have an attorney, the attorney should know what to do.

You may reschedule an order to show cause by submitting a request or motion for continuance with the court.
