> LaplaceTransform[Erf[(a - 2*b*x)/(2*Sqrt[c*x])], x, s]

Have you tried with this Laplace property?

L[f '(t)] = s * L[f(t)] - f(0)

In[1]:=
\!\(D[Erf[\(a - 2\ b\ x\)\/\(2\ \@\(c\ x\)\)], x]\)

Out[1]=
\!\(\(2\ \[ExponentialE]\^\(-\(\((a - 2\ b\ x)\)\^2\/\(4\ c\ x\)\)\)\ \
\((\(-\(b\/\@\(c\ x\)\)\) - \(c\ \((a - 2\ b\ x)\)\)\/\(4\ \((c\ \
x)\)\^\(3/2\)\))\)\)\/\@\[Pi]\)

In[2]:=
LaplaceTransform[%1, x, s]

Out[2]=
\!\(\(2\ \((\(-\(\(a\ \[ExponentialE]\^\(\(a\ b\)\/c - \@\(a\^2\/c\)\ \
\@\(b\^2\/c + s\)\)\ \@\[Pi]\)\/\(2\ \@\(a\^2\/c\)\ \@c\)\)\) - \(b\ \
\[ExponentialE]\^\(\(a\ b\)\/c - \@\(a\^2\/c\)\ \@\(b\^2\/c + s\)\)\ \
\@\[Pi]\)\/\(2\ \@c\ \@\(b\^2\/c + s\)\))\)\)\/\@\[Pi]\)

In[3]:=
Simplify[(%2 + Erf[0])/s]

Out[3]=
\!\(\(-\(\(\[ExponentialE]\^\(\(a\ b\)\/c - \@\(a\^2\/c\)\ \@\(b\^2\/c + \
s\)\)\ \((b\ \@\(a\^2\/c\) +
              a\ \@\(b\^2\/c + s\))\)\)\/\(\@\(a\^2\/c\)\ \@c\ s\ 
\@\(b\^2\/c \
+ s\)\)\)\)\)

Does It help you?
