If an arcane trickster cast a maximized spell that dealt sneak attack damage would it maximize the sneak attack dice?

No.
MAXIMIZE SPELL [METAMAGIC]
Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of a spellmodified by this feat are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. A maximized spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.
An empowered, maximized spell gains the separate benefits of each feat: the maximum result plus one-half the normally rolled result.

The spell would be maximized, but not your sneak attack dice.
