Should I say 'Thanks for the compliments or compliment' if someone praises me?

The singular is usually more appropriate.

Hi! (Space required here) Should I say "Thanks for the complements" or "... complement" if someone praises me?

Neither.

There is a big difference between "complement" (the word you used) and "compliment" (the word you should have used). Check them in your dictionary.

Whether you use the singular or the plural might depend on how many compliments they gave you.

There is a clear difference, but this is a common mistake among native speakers too.
