Using s3cmd:

s3cmd cp s3://BUCKET/KEY s3://BUCKET/KEY --storage-class=STANDARD_IA

Using AWS CLI:

aws s3 cp s3://BUCKET/KEY s3://BUCKET/KEY --storage-class STANDARD_IA

WARNING: If Versioning is on, this does not change the storage class of the object. It creates a new object with the requested storage class (e.g. STANDARD_IA), but keeps the original version in whatever storage class it was uploaded (e.g. STANDARD). You'll be paying for both copies.

Two versions of the object with different storage classes
