In terms of behaviour of the SET request - no.
The protocol used by SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 is identical.
(Strictly speaking, both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 actually use SNMPv2
protocol requests. But that's not important right now).

The difference lies in the administrative information, used to decide
whether or not to accept a particular request.  SNMPv2c has the very
simple community-based admin mechanism.  SNMPv3 has a much more
powerful (secure, complex) administrative framework - supporting
proper authentication, encryption, etc.   But the basic protocol
operations are the same.
