There is no chemical reaction. Lathering is just air bubbles getting trapped inside the liquid. Soap has a high surface tension, and so if you introduce air bubbles inside it, they tend to stay for a while (unlike water for instance, where the air bubble won't stay for long and will just rise to the surface and fall out). This is also why you can blow soap bubbles (but not water bubbles).
