They both mean to say a bad word. Some parts of the U.S. use curse while other parts use cuss.
Curse can also mean to wish someone bad luck (like a spell). I've never heard cuss used in that way though.

These can mean the same thing.
curse words
cuss words
swear words
cursing, cussing, swearing
They can all mean to say something that is offensive and/or derogatory.
However "curse" and "swear" can have other meanings too.
