Narrative:
Weather in san francisco was poor with IFR conditions and landings and takeoffs on runway 19 left and right. Rain showers; low ceilings; strong winds; and a wind shear on short final. The captain was the flying pilot and I was the monitoring pilot. The cockpit was very busy on short final due to the rapidly changing winds and having to recompute our final approach speed multiple times. After landing on runway 19L it was briefed that we would take the high-speed taxiway hotel to exit the runway. Taxiways golf and hotel are located very close together. After a very busy approach and landing to a wet and slippery runway; the captain cleared the runway at taxiway G instead of H. I did not immediately recognize nor catch the fact that we were exiting on taxiway G instead of H. Being between the runways I momentarily went heads down to move the transponder to standby and put the flaps to zero. When I looked up I realized the captain was about to go onto runway 19R. The captain also immediately recognized the error and applied the brakes but the nose of the aircraft continued about five or 6 feet past the hold short lines. On a dry surface we probably would've stopped behind the hold short lines; but with the wet taxiway the antiskid kicked in and we slid. No part of the aircraft entered the runway; but we were definitely past the runway hold line for 19R. The control tower subsequently cleared us across the runway and told us to contact them by telephone because the ground radar had us going past the hold short line. To add to the potential safety factor there was another aircraft that had just lifted off from runway 19R. After getting to the gate the captain called flight ops; notified the [duty manager]; air line pilots association (alpa); the company; and called the tower supervisor.
