This depends on the rules of your local court. You might need to file a document called an "answer", but in many small claims courts you simply need to show up in court at the time designated on the summons you receive. Try reading the papers you were served. You might also contact a lawyer.

Added: DO NOT FAIL TO APPEAR in your own defense. If you do not appear the plaintiff may well win a judgement against you "by default."
