Fuchs' men went back in front after 63 minutes as Sammy Braybrooke won possession in midfield and played a perfect through-ball for Courtney Baker-Richardson, who found the top corner with a confident finish.
The Exiles looked be to on course for a first three points at home since March, but Barrow had other ideas.
With six minutes remaining, substitute Connor Mahoney crossed from the left and Smith headed in from close range.
The draw left County five points from safety at the foot of the table.
