First, look at which one you would like better.
Second, try to get practice tests for these two sections and see which one you do better on. If this is not possible, ignore this step.
Third, I would go for US History because it has a better curve(a.k.a. you can get more wrong and still score an 800).

Reference for Curves:

I see that you’ve scored an 800 in Chem, and I want to ask you want prep books did you use and how did you prep? Also, did you take a class in Chemistry before the subject test? If so, was it regular/honors or AP/IB?
