If it is a window A/C, then there is probably ponded water in the unit causing the smell. Clean it out and add a few degrees of slope to tilt the A/C towards the outside. Also check to see if the drainage hole is blocked. You may also need to clean you air filter as if blocked... moisture can soak the filter also causing a smell.
If this is a "whole house" A/C then there is probably blockage in the condensation drainage lines, clean out the line to assure adequate drainage. If you have a pump for the condensation water then add a small amount of bleach to the pump reservoir.
