All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SL3 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon SL3 will resolve more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger SL3 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
