'Sozialpolitik' and 'Sozialstaat' both have to do with social security and justice in a society. However, 'Sozialpolitik' refers to the political area and the measures used to address social problems, for example pensions, support for families, or assistance during unemployment. 'Sozialstaat' refers to the state itself, which organizes and pays for such protections. The words can be confused because both often appear in discussions about social benefits. Put simply: 'Sozialpolitik' is the action and planning; 'Sozialstaat' is the system or the state responsible for it.
