What type of cider/juice did you use?
Did you make any additions other than yeast?
I believe it should go away over time, but hard to be sure without knowing exactly what went into it.

It will likely go away over time. Apples have alot of sulfur compounds in them, or the yeast coverts something in them into hydrogen Sulfide gas(rotten egg smell). I started a cider on Saturday and Monday when I opend the Fermentation freezer to check on it I got blasted by Satans butthole. As of today its alot better hehe.

The campden tablets are probably the reason for your sulfur smell.
If you are using pasteurized cider I see no reason for using campden tablets. I use raw cider and I still don't use campden, I haven't had any horrible infections yet.
The smell/taste will go away over time.
ETA: It's going to get worse before it gets better!
