When you download a map it will be in it's own folder just like when you create one. So what ever happens to one map it won't touch any other map.

However....

If you downloaded a generic "world" map and installed it in the folder with another map named "world" already in it and you installed over it it WILL erase the existing world folder.

Just rename the maps that you create as they are just generic "world" names and then you can go to the server.properties file and add the name of the re-named world to it and it will use that folder instead.
