They are the exact same thing. Tick mark tends to be said more commonly by British people and check mark tends to be more commonly said by Americans. Additionally, as a native American English speaker, I do find myself saying "tick the box" once in a while, but at the same time I personally never say "tick mark."
See this answer for further reference.

As a British person I would always just say a 'tick' not a 'tick mark'. – Sarriesfan Feb 02 '17 at 11:53
