改 means "to improve", and 再 means "again".
So, 再編 is reorganization, while, if the reorganization is very likely to improve the situation, 改編 is used instead.
However, since almost all reorganizations are meant to be better, the two words usually mean the same, and the choice relies more on collocation. (ex. 企業 -> 企業再編, 番組 -> 番組改編)
改組 indicates a reorganization of some group called 〜組, such as 労組 (a labor union).

@ians
They all mean pretty much the same, meaning the restructuring of an organization.
I don’t think there’s any clear distinctions between them on a daily conversation basis. There may be some differences in use as legal terms but I’m not an expert so I’m not too sure.
