It depends on what type of soap you are talking about. Antibacterial Soap kills most of the bacteria types you can get on your hands, whereas bar soap doesn't actually kill them. Instead, it just makes the bacteria less able to stick to your hands, so when you wash your hands with water after, the bacteria just washes off.
The soap acts as an emulsifier; it makes the bacteria bond with the water, so it can no longer stay on your hand. It goes down the drain, and is gone.
