It's not clear from your post if you are talking about the actual sensor or simply a magnet for an existing sensor.
If it's the former, it's my understanding that you can use pretty much any ANT+ sensor. Garmin do their own, of course, but it's quite pricey. Wiggle sell a Lifeline speed and cadence sensor which looks pretty similar to my Giant one for quite a bit less. You could have a search on Amazon - anything that says it ought to support ANT+ should work.
If it's simply a magnet, I bought some from Ebay. They stick magnetically to the end of the pedal, and so are, unlike the manufacturer supplied ones, are quite invisible.

If its the old style sensor, check the magnet (crank arm) is aligned correctly with the sensor.
