Per the lead developer of South:
You can see the difference here:
https://bitbucket.org/andrewgodwin/south/src/b3ed126b19a2/south/v2.pyAs that shows, the only difference is that data migrations aren’t
dry-run if you have a database that requires it (MySQL). Otherwise,
there’s little difference, at least at the moment – the management
commands differ, though (it’s all about user interface separation,
essentially).

There’s really only one kind of migration, but two commands. datamigration creates a new blank migration for you to fill out, while schemamigration is an optional convenience command which will attempt to detect schema changes and create a migration automatically.
Edit: from http://south.aeracode.org/docs/commands.html#schemamigration
While migrate is the real meat and bones of South, schemamigration is by comparison an entirely optional extra. It’s a utility to help write some of your migrations (specifically, the ones which change the schema) for you; if you like, you can ignore it and write everything youself, in which case we wish you good luck, and happy typing.
