“What the heck” is actually a substitute for “what the hell”. However as time went by, people replaced “heck”, a nonsensical word, for “hell” because of the connotation associated with the word hell. Same reason why a lot of people say “oh my gosh” instead of “oh my God” (because saying God like that is taking His name in vain) or “darn it/dangit” instead of “damn it”, because saying that has been associated with damnation.
