Explanation / Answer

Sulphur is a larger atom than Oxygen.

SH is more stable ion because the S is a larger atom and able to distribute electronegativity through a larger area making it more stable.

Also the negative charge on SH iion s dispersed more on it as compared to OH ion (due to larger size of S than O).

In other words A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom, and can more readily distribute the resulting negative charge from the loss of a proton than can oxygen.
