I just completed a cherry chest of drawers (solid panels top/bottom/sides) and want to finish it with Danish oil ……can I use Seal Coat on the inside of the panels? Thinking – what you do to one side, you must do the other.

Sure. And you absolutely, positively, do NOT have to do the same thing to both sides. Silly, total myth.
If oil goes on the inside, the stuff in the drawers will smell for a decade. Sealcoat is fine, but you really don't need to finish the inside of panels at all.
Yes, you might want to put sealcoat on outside before applying the danish oil if there is a concern about blotching. But, as John C2 stated, you can finish as you described with no issues.
Thanks to you both!
