These statements are not going to work well, at least due to
multiple syntax errors (missing "$" characters, missing
semicolons).

This is, again, is not going to pass even configuration syntax
check as it lacks required "$" characters before variable names
and semicolons.

Too many redirects is likely a result in something else in your
configuration, since map statements does not cause it by itself.

An example of properly working configuration snippet, with syntax
errors fixed (and a "return 200..." block added to facilitate
testing):

map $http_header1 $var1 {
default "abc";
1a "def";
1b "ghi";
}

map $http_header2 $var2 {
default "123";
2a "445";
2b "678";
}

map $http_header3 $finalvar {
default "xxxx";
~aaaa $var1;
~bbbb $var2;
}

server {
listen 8080;
return 200 "finalvar: $finalvar\n";
}

This can be easily tested with curl. Simple tests follows:

$ curl -H 'Header3: ' http://127.0.0.1:8080/
finalvar: xxxx
$ curl -H 'Header3: aaaa' http://127.0.0.1:8080/
finalvar: abc
$ curl -H 'Header3: bbbb' http://127.0.0.1:8080/
finalvar: 123
