I had asked her how he could if it started raining vs I asked her how he could if is started raining

Both phrases have errors in them. The correct version should be: 'I had asked her how he could if it started raining.' The phrase 'I had asked her' indicates a past action, and 'if it started raining' is a conditional clause that follows the correct structure. The second phrase has a subject-verb disagreement ('is started raining') and an unnecessary 'if' before 'is started raining.'
