Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of syrup's flavor molecules (42 of 47) are also found in soy milk, but soy milk has 104 that syrup lacks. Syrup gives you part of soy milk's character without most of its fresh, green side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
