It literally means "There is no excuse", or "I have no excuse". Let's break it down:
- 申もうす is the humbling version of 言いう
- 言いい訳わけ means "excuse, explanation"
- so 申もうし訳わけ is kind of a humbling version of 言いい訳わけ
- ございます (or 御ご座ざいます in kanis but that's very rare; ござる in plain form) is polite version of ある, so ございません is a more polite way to mean "there is not"
As a result, 申もうし訳わけございません literally means "I have no excuse", and therefore is a very polite way to say "I'm sorry".
On the other hand, すみません is written 済すみません in kanjis. 済すむ can mean "to feel at ease", so 済すみません might be translated as "I feel bad [for what I did]", which basically means "I'm sorry".
To sum it up:
申もうし訳わけございません
I have no excuses
すみません
I feel sorry
Now as you may know, 申もうし訳わけございません is much more often used in formal contexts than すみません, which is not rude per se but would be considered not respectful enough in a working context, especially in emails.
