They are all very similar and can usually be used in place of one another. I would say that "rarely" means less often than the other three.

Rarely - I do this, but almost never. It is very very very rare.
All the others – I do this, but not all the time. There is a considerable amount of space in between me doing this thing, but it does happen.
