Literally, it means you snap your fingers, and that could be the meaning. However, more likely, "snapping at someone" means that the person said or did something, and you responded with a loud voice and/or with a level of anger that is more than what would be expected.
For example:
P1 - "I forgot to get milk while I was at the store"
P2 - (maybe in a loud voice and with anger) "Why not?! What good are you? You are useless!!!"
P2 snapped at P1.

It means talking to them with a mean or rude tone. Usually it’s a short response.
For example:
Person A: “May you should do it like this.”
Person B: “Okay, fine! 😤🙄” (Said in a rude, annoyed tone)
Person A: “I was just trying to help. You didn’t have to snap at me”

Parler sur un ton brusque : « Silence ! » Fit-il d’un ton brusque.
