This defines the matrix

In[56]:=
m=SparseArray[ {{1, 1} -> 1, {1, 2} ->2, {3, 2} -> x}, {3, 3} ];
ArrayRules[m]

Out[57]=
{{1,1}\[Rule]1,{1,2}\[Rule]2,{3,2}\[Rule]x,{_,_}\[Rule]0}

then replace x in ArrayRules

In[58]:=
SparseArray[ArrayRules[#]/.{x\[Rule]1},Dimensions[#]]&@m
ArrayRules[%]

Out[58]=
SparseArray[<\[InvisibleSpace]3\[InvisibleSpace]>,{3,3}]

Out[59]=
{{1,1}\[Rule]1,{1,2}\[Rule]2,{3,2}\[Rule]1,{_,_}\[Rule]0}
