The difference is very subtle and relates to the operation of the account. In the case of Cash Credit, a proper limit is sanctioned which normally is a certain percentage of the value of the commodities/debts pledged by the account holder with the Bank. Overdraft, on the other hand, is allowed against a host of other securities including financial instruments like shares, units of mutual funds, surrender value of LIC policy and debentures etc. Some overdrafts are even granted against the perceived "worth" of an individual. Such overdrafts are called clean overdrafts.

Will your credit rating be affected if you cash a bounced check from someone else?

As long as you pay the bank fee (usually $3-10) and do not allow your account to go into overdraft status, your credit rating is not affected. Even an overdraft does not affect your credit unless your bank account is closed and you leave an outstanding overdraft balance due. At that point, the debt will likely be reported to credit bureaus, resulting in a drop in your credit scores.

When do you use an overdraft?

You use overdraft when you know that you may end up in situations where you need cash but you may not have sufficient funds to meet your requirements.
