Try something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "one.abc.com"}{
        if {not (([string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/sites/hr") || ([string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/pages/aboutme.aspx"))}{
            HTTP::redirect "http://one.xyz.com/sites/sync/SitePages/Home.aspx"
        }
    }
}

You can use a switch statement to avoid setting the HTTP::path value to lowercase twice:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "one.abc.com"}{
        switch [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
            "/sites/hr" -
            "/pages/aboutme.aspx" {
                 Do nothing and allow request to go to virtual server default pool
            }
            default {
                 For all other requests, redirect to new URL
                HTTP::redirect "http://one.xyz.com/sites/sync/SitePages/Home.aspx"
            }
        }
    }
}
