This is a science fiction show.. They have a couple of ways to travel in this "tv show". One is through space and fast speeds but below the speed of light. This is sub light travel.. typical travel that we do today.. Travel through space with advanced engines. The second type of travel is going through worm holes and entering hyper/sub space. All this is another realm or dimension you can travel through to get to your destination faster. No one goes into an explanation of how or why it works. Its another dimension where either points are closer together, or they are able to travel much faster without breaking the laws of physics or perhaps both simply do to the inherit properties of sub/hyper space that is never fully explained. They don't need to be. Some sci fi make jumps that happen instantaneously like you are teleported to another space time. In this show they aren't just teleported but t hey are actually traveling through the dimension. Maybe someone who knows about theoretical physics could chime in.

Before we all get technical about hyperspace drives, FTL etc it would help if we actually knew exactly what subspace is, does it have its own stars, does time exist there, is there gravity etc.
In the season 5 episode Fail Safe, we see a bit about how hyperdrive works when SG1 creates a hyperspace bubble around an asteroid so that it moves "through" Earth without a collision.
edit: search function brings up lots on speed, such as:
SGA: 3,000,000 lightyears with Asgard engine = 18 days.
SGA: 3,000,000 lightyears with ZPM boosting = 4 days.
