It isn't. The tonic of the relative minor is a minor third below the tonic of the major scale. C major and A minor, G major and E minor, for example. Harmonically speaking, B flat minor is the relative minor of D flat major.
While the tones of C sharp and D flat are indistinguishable in equal temperament, the representations of their scales on a score are not the same at all. So it means something to keep from mixing the sharps and flats when dealing with standard harmony. The relative minor of C sharp major would be A sharp minor, a very odd key to be sure, since it includes three notes that are each double-sharped. Why bother? Stay with the flat alternatives.
