Well if I'm understanding your requirement you want to only copy custom fields over if they exist?

You can try and leverage the isCustom() to determine if a field is custom.

The proper way to ensure if a field exists you could either do a describe on that second object also and check for it.

The lazy way would be to do a try catch around the line where you actually map the field. This would catch the failure of the invalid mapping and map the ones that exist.
