That's already the case, isn't it?

,----[ C-h v LaTeX-section-label RET ]
| LaTeX-section-label is a variable defined in `latex.el'.
| Its value is (("part" . "part:")
|  ("chapter" . "chap:")
|  ("section" . "sec:")
|  ("subsection" . "sec:")
|  ("subsubsection" . "sec:"))
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| Default prefix when asking for a label.
| 
| Some LaTeX packages (such as `fancyref') look at the prefix to generate some
| text around cross-references automatically.  When using those packages, you
| should not change this variable.
| 
| If it is a string, it it used unchanged for all kinds of sections.
| If it is nil, no label is inserted.
| If it is a list, the list is searched for a member whose car is equal
| to the name of the sectioning command being inserted.  The cdr is then
| used as the prefix.  If the name is not found, or if the cdr is nil,
| no label is inserted.
