The result left Huddersfield second-bottom on seven points from 12 games, a point behind Cardiff City, Southampton and Crystal Palace, who were later hosting Tottenham Hotspur.
Alex Pritchard gave Huddersfield a sixth-minute lead with a scuffed shot from 16 metres which somehow trickled past West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski before Felipe Anderson levelled for the London side with a fine 74th-minute goal.
Pritchard rued allowing West Ham to get back into the match.

A deflected effort sees the visitors draw level. Cedric Soares turns his back on the German-born Greek's shot after the hosts fail to clear the ball, and it sees Holebas' shot loop over McCarthy and in.

Aaron Mooy is usually influencing the game at the other end, but he headf off the line to prevent Issa Diop from completing a West Ham comeback.
80 min: Newcastle 2-1 Bournemouth
Double change for Newcastle, with Kenedy and Mo Diame being replaced by Ciaran Clark and Christian Atsu.
Atsu nearly makes an instant impact, but Begovic saves after his cross is deflected by Ake.
87 min: Leicester 0-0 Burnley
Leicester have tried to pen the visitors into their half, but their final ball has been lacking today. Ben Chilwell has seen his latest cross claimed by Hart.

The visitors think they are level after Dan Gosling pokes home, but he is adjudged offside from the corner following a terrific save from Dubravka initially.
Full Time: Leicester 0-0 Burnley
Not a classic at the King Power today but thoughts were definitely elsewhere today for the home fans.
There were some decent chances for Leicester in the first half, but they failed to take them and have to srttle for a point against a dogged Burnley.
Full Time: Southampton 1-1 Watford
So the spoils are shared on the south coast. Southampton went ahead through Manolo Gabbiadini and then thought they had doubled the lead when Charlie Austin slotted home.
That effort was ruled out for offside against Maya Yoshida, and then the salt was rubbed into the wounds with a Holebas equaliser eight minutes from time.
Full Time: Huddersfield 1-1 West Ham
The third draw of the afternoon and it will be an agonising one for thr hosts. The began brilliantly through an Alex Pritchard strike and looked comfortable for large parts before Felipe Anderson popped up with his third goal in two games to ensure a point for Manuel Pellegrini's side.
