Try `sh-basic-offset' instead.  That's what I use.  I tried to
format your example with the following result:

if [ ];then
  if [ ];then
    case $opt in
      t) cmd
        lf  [ ];then 
    cmd
  fi
  ;;
      h) cmd
        if [ ];then
          case $otheropt in
            a) cmd
              if [ ];then
                cmd
              fi
              ;;
            b) cmd
              ::
          esac
        fi
    esac
    if [];then
      cmd
      ii
    fi
fi
