Save states generally cannot be moved from one emulator to another, since their content is extremely closely tied to the specific implementation details of each emulator.

However, in-game saves are tied to the implementation details of the game, which are the same for every emulator the game runs on.

In higan, once you make an in-game save, the save file should appear in the game folder beside the ROM data. For example, if you imported a file called supermarioworld.sfc, there should be a game folder called supermarioworld.sfc containing program.rom (the ROM data) and save.ram (the save file). If you copy those files to a different location and name them smw.sfc and smw.srm respectively, you should be able to load the .sfc file in any other emulator and your progress will be intact.

On Windows, it'd be in C:\Users\<your account>\Emulation\Super Famicom.
