How about

\(\mu s\)

? Should work for both latex and html.

Actually,

\(\mu\text{s}\)

should also work (producing an upright s, rather than the slanted s that
the first example produces - personally I like the first one better).

Not sure if the $ signs are causing problems: imo, it's a better idea
to use the standard latex delimiters

   \( ... \) for inline math
   \[ ... \] for display math

always.

The html output makes use of MathJax but that should be no problem: by
default, the output references the MathJax installation on orgmode.org.
You might want to install on a local web server if you are going to make
heavy use of it.

See

        (info "(org) Math formatting in HTML export")

for more details.
