It is just a common American colloquialism. It is a term that has become an accepted use.
If someone comes "to" your house, therefore, they are said to be coming "over to your house".
It means something equivalent to; "My friend is coming "over" or across--the---street,
to my house."---Warm Regards, Bruce

"invite someone over" is an idiom in English and means to invite someone to come to your house.
"have (people / someone) over" is a phrasal verb and means again to invite people / someone to your house. E.g. My mom doesn't let me have my friends over for the weekend.
So "over" is a part of these two phrases and cannot be explained separately.
