Are there any differences between 手を差し伸べる, 手伝う and 助ける? They all mean "I will
help you". In which situations would I use each of them?

手を差し伸べる vs 手伝う vs 助ける
Very much different in their nuances.

手を差し伸べる -- start helping someone who is desperate.  
例) マリアは祈るだけでなく難民の生活に手を差し伸べた

手伝う -- general 'help'  
例) マリアは皿洗いを手伝った

助ける -- save, rescue and help something.  
例) 消防士は瀕死のマリアを助けた

Use them carefully with looking up you dictionary. Some Japanese dictionaries
provide you some collocations.
