Intelligence concerns those native abilities that have been enhanced by learning/practice. Smart usually refers to having developed abilities and knowledge above the average.

There is no real difference in everyday speach, but intelligence is measurable (IQ tests) and being smart is a matter of opinion.

You can define and re-define both to make them have the same or different denotations. The connotations are different and depend on the context in which the word are used
