This can be an insult, an expression of pity/sympathy, or even a compliment, depending on the context. As an insult, it can mean a variety of things, ranging from "what an idiot" to "f*** you". In a more sympathetic way, it can mean something to the effect of "I feel bad for you/so-and-so" or "what a shame". As a compliment, it can actually mean "what a sweetheart" or "how cute/sweet". In that sense, it's typically referring to someone's innocence or as a term of endearment.
Examples of "bless your/his/her/their (little) heart(s)" in typical conversation:
Insult (what an idiot):
"His boss told him if he made another careless mistake when filing the data reports again, he'd fire him on the spot. Bless his heart."
Insult (f*** you):
"Hey baby, you've got to be the sexiest little thing here. How about you and I head back to my place and throw our own private party?"
"Bless your little heart. Thanks, but I think I'll pass."
Pity/Sympathy (I feel bad for you/so-and-so):
"Bless her heart, she worked so hard to bake a nice cake for her mom's birthday. But she tripped while carrying it and it was ruined when it fell on the ground."
Pity/Sympathy (what a shame):
"He could have been top of his class, if he hadn't started started skipping class to hang out with those troublemakers. Bless his heart."
Compliment (what a sweetheart):
"I don't know how she finds the time to raise those kids, clean her house, work as a part time substitute teacher, volunteer for church events, and still host occasional social gatherings in her home. Bless her heart, she's a saint!"
Compliment (how cute/sweet):
"Look, mommy! We made macaroni art at school today! Do you like it? I made it just for you."
"Bless your heart, you're so thoughtful. I love it! We'll put this on the fridge for everyone to see!"

Get the Bless your/his/her/their (little) heart(s) mug.The god who created Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, a parody of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime series on YouTube and Dailymotion.
His videos are among the funniest on YouTube. He has more subscribers than most of the people on the Most Subscribed (All Time) section on YouTube, yet he, for some reason, does not appear on the list. A few of his episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series are on the Top Rated (All Time) section on YouTube.
Unfortunately, YouTube has decided to start deleting a few of his episodes without really giving anyone a reason for doing so. He created a Dailymotion account after YouTube deleted a few of the episodes. Most of the episodes are still available on YouTube at the time of typing this, but it is unclear whether or not YouTube will continue to delete the rest of the episodes in the series.

LittleKuriboh is the greatest user on YouTube, yet those imbeciles have decided to delete his videos. Time to move to Dailymotion, it seems.

Get the Little Briggsy mug.It means that the situation that is being described is a binary. It is something that is either IS or ISN'T. Such as is the case when one is pregnant. One either "is" pregnant or "is not", there is no in between or partial pregnancy. It means it is a situation in which there is no ambiguity or no gray area. You can't be "just a little bit" of certain things.
You can't be just a little bit pregnant when you are talking bankruptcy. You can't be just a little bit bankrupt. You are either bankrupt or not bankrupt.
