This is determined by each college. I suspect most have not specified any subject tests. But some have "recommended" subject area tests. You need to check your college registration requirements handbook.
For those two areas you listed listed, generally recommended, Math II, physics, chemistry, or biology. For instance, see this on Carnegie Mellon University, a typical first drawer University ; http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/standardized-test-requirements
Note, this is pretty common " Applicants won't be penalized if the cost of taking the SAT Subject Tests causes financial hardship and as a result, prohibits their submission. In such instances, instead of SAT Subject Tests, we'll rely on secondary school record, rigor of coursework, teacher and counselor recommendations, essays and any other information available.
So your HSchool course work can be very important and is an evaluation tool.
Now on the basic SAT, personally, I recommend you also take the written essay option. Colleges are looking for quality students, who have a history of working with others, sound basic academic work, who can communicate, and who have determination to make the world a better place.
