htaccess to hide some folders and seo

I have a site with the following folder structure

/folder1
/folder2/folder3
/othfolder1
/othfolder2

I would like to obtain this

mysite.com -> will show content of /folder1 (without showing the folder on URI, ok for subfolders)
mysite.com/folder3 -> will show content of /folder2/folder3 (without showing folder2 on URI)
mysite.com/othfolderX -> will just remain as it is (/othfolder1 or /othfolder2 or so on), no rewrite

Is this possibile with htaccess rewrite? Will this be any problem with current seo and search results for the site?

You may try these rules in your site root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ folder1/ [L]

RewriteRule ^(folder3)/?$ folder2/$1/ [L,NC]

Make sure you test it after completely clearing your browser cache.

Could you please try following, written as per your shown samples only.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?$
RewriteRule ^.*$ folder1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(folder3)/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) folder2/%1 [L]
