Keep track of the currently dragging scroll view when scrollViewWillBeginDragging: is called.

In scrollViewDidScroll:, update the scroll view that is not dragging:

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    if(scrollView == self.mainCollectionView 
             && self.mainCollectionView == self.scrollingView){ // new check
        CGFloat x = self.mainCollectionView.contentOffset.x / self.mainCollectionView.bounds.size.width * SM_IPHONE_THUMB_CONTAINER_SIZE; // cell width + spacing 48 + 8
        CGFloat y = 0;
        CGPoint contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y);
        self.thumbsCollectionView.contentOffset = contentOffset;

    }
    else if(scrollView == self.thumbsCollectionView 
           && self.thumbsCollectionView== self.scrollingView){ // new check
        CGFloat   x = self.thumbsCollectionView.contentOffset.x / self.thumbsCollectionView.bounds.size.width * SM_IPHONE_THUMB_CONTAINER_SIZE; // cell width + spacing 48 + 8
        CGFloat y = 0;
        CGPoint contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y);
        self.mainCollectionView.contentOffset = contentOffset;

}
