I would recommend "how can I help you"
how is an interrogative inquiring the manner or the way in which you can help someone
what is an interrogative that references a specific subject matter....along with that if you use 'what' that makes the thought incomplete...it should be "what can I help you with"
and by the way....'can' is the appropriate term.....'can' refers to capacity, capability and method
'may' refers to permitted....it doesn't make sense to say "how may i help you?" but it is perfectly logical to say "may I help you" (in other words, do I have your permission to help you)

Neither. It should read: How may I help you?
