can you un-contract sa kap fet! and break it down word by word please?

Sa kap fèt  → Kisa ki ap fèt

Sa - is contraction for kisa which means what.
Ki - is a relative pronoun that means that, who, or which
ap - is the determiner for the progressive tense
fèt (v.) - as a verb means to do, to happen, to occur

Kisa ki ap fèt? - literally means "what that happening?"
Kisa ki ap fèt? - is the expression for "what's happening?"
The verb to be (se) is not written in this expression. 
It is not required.

______________________________
Same goes for "sak pase?"

Sak pase? → Kisa ki pase?
literally "what that passed"

Sak pase? - is the expression for "what's going on?" "What is happening" "What is up?"
