Both are incorrect. Though, if you revise the first one as "Is there anybody who can help me?", it can be an impeccable question.

Anybody is considered to be a singular pronoun which means any person.

The first phrase is better because the term anybody usually refers to a third-person singular entity (in regard to grammar, it's treated the same as the word anyone). Although, with both sentences you've provided, you're missing a word that would make both of them make proper sense:

1. Is there anybody who can help me 

2. Are there anybody who can help me (don't use this one).

Well I think that the first is correct because the subject is anybody and you can't say anybody are because it is the third person so the correct is with is anybody.
