SparkFun Simultaneous RFID Reader - M7E Hecto with RedBoard IoT Sparkfun

I am bit puzzled what you want to do?

There are a lot of posts about the M7E in this forum that contain information on how to connect. (like M7E Hecto Simultaneous RFID Reader Not Communicating - #4 by paulvha) Apart from that there is the hookup guide.

Setting SoftwareSerial as (3,1) does not make sense. The RX would become pin 3, and TX would become pin 1. BUT pin 1 is already used as TX for USB to connect to your PC.
