The word 'slow' is an adjective (slow, slower, slowest) and a verb (slow, slows, slowing, slowed).

The word 'slowly' is the adverb form of the adjective 'slow', used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

The word 'so' is an adverb and a conjunction. In the terms, 'so slow' or 'so slowly', the word 'so' is functioning as an adverb.

Which is correct ('so slow' or 'so slowly') depends on what the term is modifying; for example:

The mail delivery here is so slow. (the adjective 'slow' is the predicate nominative, describing the subject noun 'delivery'; the adverb 'so' is modifying the adjective)

The cat crept so slowly that the bug never saw him. (the adverb 'so' is modifying the adverb 'slowly', which in turn is modifying the verb 'crept')
