I noticed that in-spite htmlStrike is defined in the bundled markdown.vim syntax file, it is not defined in a number of colorschemes.
It would be nice to include it.
EDIT; as workaround I added the following to my ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/markdown.vim
augroup MarkdownStrike
autocmd!
autocmd ColorScheme * highlight htmlStrike gui=strikethrough cterm=strikethrough
augroup END
