.h files are the header files. It will have only the declarations(function & variable) and macros.
.so files are shared objects specific to unix based platforms. It will contain the definitions (real implementation of function and variables; library functions). One important thing is that while creating the executable file from the source file these libraries will not be added to the executables.
These libraries will be loaded in to the memory in the runtime (ie, while running the executables).
