I agree with everyone here: if the guy really cares about you, the scars should be no issue.
I had just stopped harming when I met my boyfriend, now fiance, and he noticed the scars on my arms. I wasn't afraid of what he thought, he simply asked what they were from and I told him the truth, straight up.. He didn't freak out, he just accepted it as having been some part of me; I haven't injured since and we've been together for 3 years.
He is uncomfortable talking about self-injury but I can add that so am I - it's not an easy thing to discuss. So, while I don't discount your worries, you shouldn't worry yourself sick.
The best thing that you can do is be open and honest.
