As Peter Heinig commented, if the mathematics behind the identity is novel and important enough, then you should select a journal like you would select a journal for any other paper—if it's a combinatorial identity, look for a combinatorics journal; if it's a number-theoretic identity, look for a number theory journal, etc.

For the specific case of constants such as $\pi$ and $e$, most novel identities for them are nowadays discovered with significant computer assistance. The journal Experimental Mathematics is one place where such identities have been published, e.g., I'm fond of Jesús Guillera's paper About a New Type of Ramanujan-Type SeriesAbout a New Type of Ramanujan-Type Series, which contains some amazing identities such as the following one due to Gourevitch (which I believe is still open as of this writing):

$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1+14n+76n^2+168n^3}{2^{20n}}\binom{2n}{n}^7 = \frac{32}{\pi^3}.$$


EDIT: As mentioned by Jorge Zuniga, Gourevitch's conjecture has now been proved by K. C. Au, Wilf-Zeilberger seeds and non-trivial hypergeometric identities, arXiv:2312.14051, 26 Dec 2023. Also, it appears that the editorial board of Experimental Mathematics resigned en masse in 2023 to found a new journal, the Journal of Experimental Mathematics.
