It's not yelling. It is making a cutting (i.e., hurtful) remark, often with a suddenly raised voice, possibly for no discernible reason.

Snapping is not an ongoing thing like scolding or yelling. It happens intermittently. If someones snaps at you, they make one loud, hurtful remark. If they are snapping at you, they do that occasionally over time.
