sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

I have added alias in my .gitconfig

  rnd      =  !sh -c \"git commit -m '$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)'\"

And now when I type 

git add . && git commit rnd

I get an error sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

You have your quoting backward a bit... you want to single-quote the command to run, pass that to sh, and use the backslash-quoted double quotes around your string expansion...

rnd = !sh -c 'git commit -m \"$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)\"'

And also, just a note, in your question you call git commit rnd, but in reality, you would call this as git rnd.
