Maryland and New Jersey are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) and Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC). The DLC requires member states to report ticket convictions received by a motorist back to the state in which the person is licensed. So if you plead guilty and pay the fine then Maryland courts would report the speeding tickets back to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
According to the New Jersey MVC all members in this compact exchange all violation information. Furthermore the MVC notes that out-of-state moving violations are worth two points on your NJ driving record.
So if you received 2 speeding tickets in Maryland, you should get two points a piece for a total of 4 points on your New Jersey driving record for these violations.
Now if you did not pay the Maryland speeding tickets the NRVC would come into play. This Compact requires member states to suspend the driver's license of any motorist who gets a traffic ticket in another state and failure to pay them or otherwise comply with the ticket. So if MD informs NJ that you did not comply with the ticket and failed to pay or appear in traffic court then the New Jersey MVC should suspend your license.
