What does dyne second per square centimeter measure?

It is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one poise, quantifying the shear stress needed to create a unit shear rate in fluids.

When should I use terapoise for viscosity?

Terapoise is ideal for expressing very large viscosity values found in geophysics, materials science, and theoretical rheology.

Why is the converted value often very small?

Because 1 dyne second/sq. centimeter equals 1 × 10⁻¹² terapoise, resulting values become tiny when expressed in terapoise for typical viscosities.
