`LaTeX-mode-map`, like most package variables, is only defined once
its package is actually loaded, which is done lazily in response to the
use of the package (e.g. opening a LaTeX file).

So it's normal that `LaTeX-mode-map` is not defined when your init file
is loaded.  This is on purpose to try and speed up Emacs's startup.

You can use things like:

    (with-eval-after-load 'latex
      (define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "C-c a") #'my-bar)
      (define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") #'my-foo))

or

    (defun my-latex-setup ()
      (define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "C-c a") #'my-bar)
      (define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") #'my-foo))
    (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'my-latex-setup)

in order to delay the customization to after the variable is defined.
