Answer

Both words mean "only/just", but  "dake" may be used in affirmative and negative sentences whereas "shika" can be only used in negative sentences (always followed by "-nai" or "-masen").

Sore dake desu.  (That's all)
Sore dake dewa arimasen. (That's not all)
Sore shika arimasen (That's the only one left)
