You will get a 4/4 angel with flying and vigilance (and none of Scute Swarm's characteristics).
Normally when there are multiple replacement effects trying to apply to the same event, you get to choose which one to apply first, but the last part of Scute Swarm's ability is a special kind of replacement effect called a "self replacement effect" because it affects the result of the ability it's a part of. Self replacement effects are always applied first, so that means in your example the effect of Divine Visitation will be applied last and win out.
