They are very similar in meaning, and they can often be used interchangeably. They all mean "to urge/persuade" but they all have more appropriate uses in certain contexts.
"To seduce someone" is used especially in a deceptive way. When most people think of seduction, they think of it with regards to sex/prostitution. It has a negative connotation.
"To tempt someone" also (usually) has a negative connotation. It has some uses in religious contexts, and connotes the mood of "desire."
"To entice someone" has a neutral/positive connotation. This word is used when someone persuades someone else, but does so usually with a gift/incentive.
Here are examples of each word being used in a sentence.
