I would try the following. You might want to think about redirecting from service.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/SHCM, and not service.mysite.com/SHCM, but I have created the rule so both host and uri are very portable. The key is using "contains" instead of "equals" I think. See below... 

  
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
 set uri [HTTP::uri]  
 set host [HTTP::host]  
 if { [HTTP::host] contains "service.mysite.com" } {  
 set uri "SHCM"  
 }  
 HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://$host$uri"  
 }
