Can a sworn deposition for a civil case be used in a criminal case?

Perhaps - but it is not a certain thing that it would be admissable. Maybe only if the individual giving the deposition had died prior to the trial, and that it then became the 'next best'evidence. If the person was still living, almost certainly not. If the person who gave the deposition for the civil trial was still living, they would be required to appear in person in a criminal trial.

When is a sworn statement or affidavit admissable in court?

No, definitely not. Except for extremely narrow and defined circumstances, affidavits are considered "hearsay" and are not admissable as 'best evidence." Best evidence would be the testimony. in person, of the individual who gave the affidavit. Such a personal appearance allows the opposing side to cross-examine the witness. You can't cross-examine a piece of paper.
