Because he is said to have the 3 genies from agrabah and none of them are Sydney. The three genies got cursed into the bottles years before Sydney is found by Leopold and freed so its not like any of them took over as the genie for that lamp, actually the lamp that Jafar had that most resembles Sydneys lamp isn't it the wrong colour? So it may be  different lamp.

I suppose Jafar only thought there were only three Genies in Agrabah and maybe he didn't know there could be another one. Also why do all the genies we have met so far were all born and live in Agrabah? Amara only wanted her three sons but any three genies would do. Being unable to find Wonderland, Jafar could just travel across the desert from Agrabah to Misthaven and go after Sidney. Simple.
