The difference is very minimal.

'I have just done it' is present perfect tense. In this scenario the thing you have done has a relation to the present. When the particular task is completed is not mentioned in this case.

'I just did it' is simple past tense. It could give a hint to the time you finished the task, eg, 'I just did it a an hour ago'
