Try:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "bash",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "args": [ "myShellScript.sh" ],
    "showOutput": "always"
}

Or you can add a shebang to your file:

#!/bin/bash

and then write the path to the script:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "/path/to/script.sh",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "args": [],
    "showOutput": "always"
}
