When it comes to honorifics in Korean, I see two words: 높임말 and 존댓말. Are these two words different or the same?

They are same. 존대 is a Sino-Korean word which has the same meaning of 높임.

As was mentioned in the comment, they are the same. Naver Korean dictionary gives the exact same explanation for the two words.
