Right now, GSTR-3B is not be allowed to file until and unless you paid GST and notification provides relief to SME's with turnover upto INR 1.5 crores for quartery GST payment as well as quarterly filing of GSTR-1, GSTR-2 and GSTR-3. However, press release by government mentioned that "all taxpayers will be required to file FORM GSTR-3B on a monthly basis till December, 2017". So, just wait for GSTN to update their portal to facilitate filing of GSTR3B without payment of GST from October 2017 onwards due to specific relief in this regard to pay on quarterly basis.
Answer to your questions is :
1) Due date of GSTR3B for October 2017 is 20/11/2017
2) GSTR3B need to file on monthly basis till 31/12/2017. Thereafter, no need to file GSTR3B by any assessee. This is the position as on date
3) No SME's are not exempted from filing GSTR3B.
