I had the impression, Guix was a package manager and GuixSD the OS?

It is all just Guix now. It's both package and systems manager.

The OS is called "Guix System". Without the system part it's just "Guix".

Both variants are very similar. The Guix tool comes with a "guix system" command, which lets you build Guix System containers, container images, system images, qemu VM images, qemu VM scripts, etc. The only command that won't work on a "foreign" distro is "guix system reconfigure" --- but that's only a "guix system init /" away ;)
