gerrymandering is redistricting to where one political party has an advantage over the other, while normal redistricting is just remapping districts.

Gerrymandering is a manner of redistricting, but it has the negative connotation derived from the practice of trying to establish political voting advantages through the manipulation of district boundaries.
