I think smart work is a by-product of hard work. When you work hard for a project (suppose on Java) then the next project on java will not require much hard work.

Hard work is putting your heart and soul into a job.

i.e. Burning the Midnight Oil.

Whereas Smart work is a planned approach with a balance of action and mind.

Hard work: Trying to read the entire book before the interview day.

Smart work: Reading top 50 questions for an interview which has a high chance of occurrence.

Hard work is putting one's full effort to get the work done or can say to reach the goal.
