The SDS system is used on drills that drill through stuff like concrete. The bit has a standard size male part with four grooves in it. The drill chuck has four fingers that mate with the grooves on the bit shank. To change bits you just pull the old one out of the drill with your hand and push the new one into the chuck. It's very slick. They even sell a Jacobs-style jaw chuck adapter for it, so you can use all your non-SDS bits with an SDS drill.

Are SDS and SDS-plus bits the same?
The short answer to your question is "yes". I found myself researching the same question a few days ago and found that the real difference is between SDS/SDS Plus and SDS Max. I don't recall the exact dimension now, so I won't try to quote it, but the Max is a larger size. The answer I found was enough to tell me I used SDS (SDS Plus), and those were the bits I needed to buy. Once I knew that, I didn't need to remember the size of SDS Max...they were too big for my drill. Last point, SDS Plus is sometimes shortened to SDS+.
