Redirection based on location but without affecting search bots

Search

Help Google to determine the site language and to serve the right page for the users in different countries. Mark up language attributes correctly. Use <html lang="en_UK"> and <html lang="en_US">. Use <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x" /> in page <head>. It’s also important to specify site targeting in Google Webmaster Tools.

Referrers

I believe people residing in UK will link to your UK-targeted site, not US-targeted. And inversely.

User Experience

It’s always a good practice to leave the user the ability to choose preferred site himself.

Advice

Don’t use any redirection plugins. Google advise sounds the same:

Avoid automatic redirection based on the user’s perceived language
(Multi-regional and multilingual
sites).
