Generally, there is no waiting period for filing a small claim. In fact, because of the statutes of limitation, your claim may be barred if it is not timely filed. However, some courts require (and I highly recommend) that before filing your small claim, you send a certified letter to the person who you are suing and demand the money you are claiming. Sending such a letter, and giving the other party a reasonable time to respond, will make you look better at trial.
