You resolve the effects in the order listed on the card (in this case, the order on Unexpected Attack). The first effect destroys the Sulphurous Swamps, which triggers its discard effect. You discard a card at this point. You then put Unexpected Attack into play, and then draw a card from Unexpected Attack's effect.
