The same SEO rules apply to commerce sites as well as other sites. You need to view the source of each package and follow John's tips:

I know some site owners that use oscommerce and they do very well in terms of serps and do not have a problem getting all their pages indexed. I think you may have to do a mod rewrite, but am not 100% sure on this.

Osc works great. Take a look at the cd paper sleeve link below and then do a search on it, should show up in the first couple pages.
Try to do some internal and external linking droping the session id's.
You don't need to do the mod re-write, but it might make life simpler down the road if you are not on-top of the SEO game.

We put up one site on Osc and it ranked the next day.
