They're very similar. The main difference is the amount of movement in the knee.
In the SDL, there's minimal movement in the knee with the primary movement being through the hip. Knees should be bent slightly, a little short of lockout.
In the RDL, you're simply adding a little more movement through the knee.
It's like stepping stones, really. CDL - lots of knee movement. RDL - some knee movement. SDL - little to no knee movement.
