Search engine optimization & search engine marketing both the terms actually refer to two different parts of the same marketing scheme.SEM is a much broader term than SEO, and actually includes SEO as one of its techniques. SEM is all that a company can do to advertise itself on a search engine, including paid inclusion and other ads.

SEO - Is optimizing the page to be easily found and indexable by search engines. This is everything from content writing to getting backlinks.

SEM - Is bidding on keywords through tools like Google AdWords. This can be extremely expensive and time consuming, and should probably only be a short term solution until your site is performing well organically.

SMO - Is setting up and participating in various Social Media sites, like Facebook, Digg, Delicious, etc. The purpose here is to build commuinities of fans and spread the word on your updated content.
