In a deck of cards, 'knave' is another word for 'jack', but the word also means 'scoundrel' which is a dishonest or unscrupulous person. So the nursery rhyme is probably making a joke, by casting the Jack of Hearts in a slightly wicked and villainous role.
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day; The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away. The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and vowed he'd steal no more.

"The Queen of Heart, she made some tarts, All on a summers day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!"
The definition of "knave" is "a dishonest or unscrupulous man". It would therefore be very rude to call someone a "knave". However "knave" is also the name given to one of the face cards in a pack of cards eg "the knave of spades" . So using the word "knave" to describe this card is perfectly OK.
