\usepackage{sfmath}

See http://dtrx.de/od/tex/sfmath.html for details.

I don't know how htlatex works for math. If it generates MathML, then you 
could use a stylesheet to change the math font, but there aren't too many 
options for math fonts for the browser. If it uses cropped images, then 
changing the math font of the latex document should be enough.
