My adult grandson made $756 doing online tasks (as an independent contractor) in 2016. He is declared as my dependent. Does he still have to pay Self Employment tax if I declare his income? Does he still have to file if I do?

You cannot claim his earnings. He is required to file his own return since he made more than $400 in self employment earnings.
This is from IRS Pub 501
