They both have to do with the theatre. Apart from that, they have little in common. Stage directions are written by the playwright and form part of the script. Their primary purpose is to indicate generally the movement of the actors on stage, but they can also (especially when the playwright is a frustrated novelist) talk about the "look" of the stage or the costumes or the props. A set design, on the other hand, is a design for the look of the stage for a particular production of a particular play. Set designs are rarely made by the author of the script, but rather by a designer in collaboration with the director. They are much more detailed than the set indications you get in scripts, as they involve the specific dimensions of the set bearing in mind the stage for which it is designed.
