Any water soluable sulfate will correct sulfur deficiency. A good example would be ammonium sulfate. It will also supply nitrogen.
As to whether you are short sulfur, maybe but it's not common. Are you sure it isn't just too cold? What do the plants look like?

the most common problem with tomatoes is blossom end rot but thats a calcium deff. not sulfur. epsom salts is magnesium sufate there is some sulfur in it but magnesium is the main ingredient. what problem are you having with them are they just not growing ,look sick or some other problem ??maybe to small of a pot not enough water or to big of a pot and too much water

They are sun and heat lovers, short day sunlight days, cool temps and especially cooler soil temps will kick the snot out of them.
Not sure how old they are, but plants like tomatoes can be very prone to nematodes, the warmer the soil, the worse it gets.
