Olympus E-M1 III has a 20.0MP Four Thirds (17.4 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features TruePic IX processor. On the other hand, Leica SL2 has a 47.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro III processor.
Leica SL2's sensor provides 27MP more than Olympus E-M1 III's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Leica SL2 and Olympus E-M1 III sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the E-M1 III and SL2 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus E-M1 III and Leica SL2 Cameras
As seen above, Leica SL2 has a 3.8x Larger sensor area than Olympus E-M1 III. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
