Rescue from the Underworld is exiled as it resolves, not later as its delayed trigger resolves.

2013-09-15wotc

However, if the sacrificed creature is put into another public zone instead of the graveyard, perhaps because it's your commander or because of another replacement effect, it will return to the battlefield from the zone it went to.

2013-09-15wotc

If either the sacrificed creature or the target creature card leaves the graveyard before the delayed triggered ability resolves during your next upkeep, it won't return.
