All of them are almost the same, but 返答and 回答 is answer for the question or request . 返事is reaction for the call or email or message etc.
彼から先日の質問への返答がない。
彼からパーティーへの招待の返事がない。
先方から取引条件に関する回答があった。

And 返事works 99% cases. You can use 返事instead 回答and 返答. But in some cases if you use 回答 or 返答instead 返事, it will probably be unnatural like this. 彼からパーティーへの招待の回答/返答が来ない is a little bit unnatural. 返事is casual yet polite.

回答と返答は少しフォーマルな表現で返事はカジュアルだけど丁寧なことばなので仕事とプライベートのどちらでも使えます
