auftauchen: literally "to surface", "to rise to the surface"
It can also mean "to show/turn up", "to emerge", "to appear"
erscheinen: literally "to seem (to be ....)", "to appear (to be ....)"
It can also mean "to be published/to start being sold/to be released (books/movies/magazine/...)", "to show/turn up"
If you make sure that you actually mean "to appear (into sight)", you can most likely interchange auftauchen and erscheinen.
I would consider auftauchen as a more colloquial version, while erscheinen is more of an intellectual term.
