How many laws has the US Supreme Court declared unconstitutional in the 19th century?

None. The US Supreme Court didn't convene for the first time until February 2, 1790, and didn't challenge Congress for more than a decade.
In 1803, the Supreme Court held that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, which authorized the US Supreme Court to issue any and all writs of mandamus, was unconstitutional because Congress had attempted to expand the authority of the Court beyond the enumerated powers listed in Article III.
This pronouncement arose from Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the Marbury v. Madison, (1803) case, and was the first instance of judicial review being used to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional.
