Board: A 4 5 7 J
Two players declare a low.
Player A: 3 4 x x
Player B: A 3 x x
Both players have the same low hand: A 3 4 5 7
Is this a tie or does Player B win with lower cards in his hand?

It's a tie. Win/loss is always dependent on 5 cards. The only times differences in hand cards matter is when determining who gets the extra chip(s) in a split pot. (Though some casinos go by position instead of hand cards for this.)

Great answer. For what it's worth, in the UK I've only ever seen odd chips in a split pot awarded based on position (earliest position getting the extra chip) and never on hand content. However, there's very little O8 in the UK, so maybe there's somewhat of a game-specific divide as well as a geographical or cultural one.– 3N1GM4Commented Jan 7, 2017 at 10:50

@3N1GM4 - I probably should have said "Though most casinos go by position instead of hand cards". I think I've only seen suits determining the extra chip in one casino, and it was actually hold'em not O8, but I assume they would have had the same rule for O8 too (if there are multiple high hands and an extra chip).– TTTCommented Jan 7, 2017 at 14:49
