GIMP doesn't know anything about JPEG images. The image is opened by a plug-in and the core only gets to see the decompressed image. So if you crop the image in GIMP, it will have to be recompressed when it is saved as JPEG again. The JPEG plug-in does a nice job at preserving as much of the JPEG compression settings as possible to minimize the defects introduced by the recompression. But you will get slightly better results with specialised software that works directly on the JPEG data.
