Using a CC iframe / map /inlay does not change the License on the rest
of your code.
Only if you take data from the OSM database / images etc and alter
them by adding / removing objects, code, text etc do you need to
comply to the CC license.

If you insert a OSM image or map in your site the CC license is only
valid for that particular image or map.

greets.
