What does millinewton second per square meter measure?

It is a unit of dynamic viscosity indicating a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.

When should I use gigapoise units?

Gigapoise is appropriate for extremely high viscosity materials such as heavily cured polymers or geological substances.

Why are gigapoise values very small when converting from millinewton second/sq. meter?

Because of the vast scale difference between these units, typical low-viscosity measurements convert to very small gigapoise numbers.
