Is there a function in WordPress that will check if the page you are on is a sub-category archive page?
Like the way is_category checks if it’s a category page?

Sub-categories use the regular category archive page by default. There is no function such as is_subcategory. But you can write your own.
Here is an example:
This will check if the current page is a sub-category. Or if you pass an ID it will check if the ID is a subcategory.
function is_subcategory( $cat_id = NULL ) {
if ( !$cat_id )
$cat_id = get_query_var( 'cat' );
if ( $cat_id ) {
$cat = get_category( $cat_id );
if ( $cat->category_parent > 0 )
return true;
}
return false;
}
