"What does it mean" is the correct English grammar.
"What's that mean" is the corrupted English grammar but commonly accepted form.

The first is improper English which is common in South East Asia where people have problems pronouncing "s" sounds as prefixes. The second phrase is correct.

what's that mean = more colloquial, informal
what does that mean = traditional, formal
they both MEAN the same thing, you'd just use them in different situations
