If your bags are sent through to OGG, you will not need to leave the secure area. Just follow the signs to the Interisland terminal. Whatever you do: Don't pass by TSA and head out of the secure area to the street! (note that you will pass by an agricultural screening station that scans the handcarry of passengers going from the interisland terminal to the International terminal.)

I'm quite surprised that you have such a short layover: Are both flights on the same PNR? If not, that can cause problems unless both flights are HA booked. If they are both HA flights (and purchased through HA), no problems if you arrive late. There are many flights a day from HNL to OGG, and you will find seats on another one.

Here is a map of the HNL terminal layout:

You will go from one of the green terminal building to one of the dark blue terminal buildings, transiting via the light blue pathway. All of this is airside!

Aloha and enjoy your trip!
