It's synonymous with "Really?", "For real?" or "Is that really true?"
It indicates you are surprised by a fact/statement or you find it hard to believe. Example:
A: "This painting is worth over $1 Million dollars
B: "Is that so? Wow!"
The expression can be used both sincerely and sarcastically.
When used sarcastically it implies that you are surprised the person is even claiming the fact to be true because it is literally unbelievable or you clearly do not think it's true.
Example:
A: "I can jump over a car"
B: "Is that so? Well... I'll have to see that before I believe it"
