karma is just a word used to classify cause and effect relationships and affinities in existence.
Karma is what you do, or more to the point the total effect upon the universe of what you do. In both Hinduism and Buddhism the sum total of the good and bad things you do dictates where you will end up in the next life.
dharma is the truth of the natures underlying all entities in existence. The buddha dharma is the truths of existence that the buddha teaches. Fundamentally, all dharmas are of the same fundamental nature. Dharma is either another word for "the way things are" or kind of the underlying truth behind everything, or in Buddhism it can specifically mean the path to enlightenment taught by the Buddha.
This is my understanding of it. Hoped it helped! ((Sorry If a lot to read))
