Derived from sculduddery, which originally meant fornication or adultery (see World Wide Words). The spelling skullduggery is prevalent online, so this is a good example of spelling capture, influenced by skull, which isn't related.
The latter is underhanded behavior. The former is underhanded behavior using defunct crania.
skullduggery vs skulduggery.
