They have very similar meaning and they can be roughly translated as "usually" or "normally" in English.
Examples:
你星期日通常會做乜嘢?
What do you usually do on Sunday?
你星期日平時會做乜嘢?
What do you normally do on Sunday?
The only difference is that 通常 puts more emphasis on frequency (usually, as opposed to always, sometimes etc.) while 平時 simply means ordinary time (as opposed to special occasion). But in most cases native speakers use them interchangeably.
