The old go to broker for shorting pennys - SureTrader:

There are also increased margin requirements when shorting low priced stocks. The minimum requirement is $2.50 per share on shorts, so if you short a stock trading under $2.50 a share you still will be held to the increased requirement of $2.50 per share. Stocks trading between $2.50 and $5 will be held to 100% requirement on shorts. Stocks above $5 per share will be held to a minimum requirement of $5 per share and then the regular short requirements thereafter.

I hope you now understand that shorting a sub-penny is for penny stock pumpers only.
