Later in the scene, only his mitten and sleeve are visible, indicating that he pulled his hand back into his shirt and wasn't actually going to cut it off; as he reveals a few seconds later.

As Cartman runs out of Butter's house and his AbusiveParents come in, you fully expect them to start on him as they have many times before, grounding him and maybe even beating him. Instead they realise that because they didn't respect their son, he has lost respect for them and apologise to him for lying. They all hug in a room smeared with poop while Stan looks on slack-jawed at Cartman's success.
