Some examples from our editors:

  • Some of them have brown eyes.
  • I wanted to give you all of the documents, but some of them have errors.
  • I made you some brownies. Some of them have nuts; do you have any allergies?

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • some of these have
  • some of those have

some of them has

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

In this phrase, the subject does not agree with the verb. "Some" indicates more than one, while "has" is the second-person plural of "have."
