A congressman represents a distrct within a state while a senator represents the state as a whole.

Technically the term congressman refers to a person from either the House of Representatives or Senate, ( in other words a senator is also considered a congressman) In practice the term congressman is exclusively used to describe a member of the house of representatives.
