Answer:

I assume you meant: “As you sow, so shall you reap.” You were asking how this one sentence could be two dependent clauses.

Let's start at the start. A clause is any subject-verb construction, whether they can stand as a single sentence or not. In that regard, “As you sow…” is a clause and “…so shall you reap” is also a clause, simply because both fragments contain a subject, you, and a verb, sow or reap.

Next. What are dependent and independent clauses? An independent clause can stand as a separate sentence while a dependent clause cannot. Can either fragment stand as separate sentences? “As you sow” definitely can't. Some may argue that “so shall you reap” actually can, but others will say it can't. Those who say it can't may say people don't write that way anymore, even in formal writing. That ordering of words as a standalone sentence looks archaic and out of place. But those who say it can may argue that if the first fragment is contained in a separate sentence nearby to provide context, then the second fragment does not sound like an incomplete thought.

So how can there be two dependent clauses in the sentence “As you sow so shall you reap”? Just put the sentence in the context of more modern-day writing, and both halves just sound incomplete on their own. But if you consider that the sentence construction, while dated, is still fairly understandable, then the second fragment is really an independent clause written in an uncommon, circuitous way.
