I have a html file that has an image:
<img src="../smilies/happy.gif" />
Is it possible to redirect this path to another using .htaccess
?
So the above example would become equivalent to
<img src="http://static.example.com/smilies/happy.gif" />

I think its easier to set a variable in your config
<?php
$static_url = "http://static.example.com/";
?>
<img src="<?php echo $static_url; ?>/smilies/happy.gif" alt="" />
Its better then you have the control what came from static and the rewrite engine is slow when you call it everytime its not sooo good.

Well, you might get away with redirecting all calls that end with /smilies/happy.gif
to that directory, so it wouldn't matter where the call came from. That does mean you should not wish to call this to some other subedirectory, but I imagine you don't.
something like this (guessing here, cann't test, so read up on the rwriting there :)
RewriteRule ^(.*)/images/$(.*) http://static.example.com/smilies/$2 [L,R=301]
basically you are rewriting everything that has '/images/' in it to that static adress, pasting whatever was after images after the new asdress (the $2 thingy) and then indicating that this is the last command to parse (to stop strange things in the htaccess) and that you want a 301 (permanently moved) code to be sent.
