Sarcasm:
Harsh derision or irony: a sharp ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark, usually intended to wound.
Sardonic:
Bitter derision, usually ironic: intended to be humorous.
Difference: Sardonic and Sarcastic
Sarcasm is more general than sardonicism. It can be humorous (at the cost of others), acidic, dry, or similar. To tell the 'type' of sarcasm, you must know the context.
Sardonicism implies a negative view of something. It's sarcasm with an ill tone, even if it's used for humour. Someone can use sardonicism but it's obvious that he isn't too comfortable with subject.
"But when President Bush demands Russia go home and leave Georgia alone, his pal Vladimir Putin - the modern Russian czar - gets that sardonic smile on his face." -- Bill Moyers
