With bigger sample sizes, the sample mean becomes a more accurate estimate of the parametric mean, so the standard error of the mean becomes smaller. "Standard error of the mean" and "standard deviation of the mean" are equivalent terms. If you take many random samples from a population, the standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of the different sample means.
