I would say that the meaning of the phrases are very similar.
Translated directly "Hur mår du" means "how are you (feeling)", while "hur är det" translates to "how is it".

Also, "hur mår du" sounds more personal, like you care for the asked person's mood and well being, while "hur är det" is focused more on how things are practically for the person.
For example, if you ask me "hur mår du", I might answer that I am feeling great, or that I am happy today.
If you ask me "hur är det", I might answer with telling you my family is doing great or that I am happy with my new job.
Do you see the difference? Both are still equally good to ask someone, what I described is a tiny difference.
