You will need the 117 MB administrative update Service Pack 3 for Office 2003. (Not the smaller client SP-3.)
Service Pack 3 contains all updates included in SP1 and SP2, as well as updates released after SP2.

Here's how to create an installation CD of MS Office 2003 with integrated SP-1, SP-2 & SP-3:
1. Insert Microsoft Office 2003 CD and place administrative update Service Pack 3 file Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe to C:\ drive.
2. Create two temporary Directories C:\Office and C:\Update
then insert the original Office 2003 CD into the CD drive.
3. Start Menu > Run... > type the following and click on OK (or press the Enter key):
x:\setup.exe /a
(where x represents the letter of the CD drive.)
4. Office 2003 Administrative Setup will run, and the Administrative Installation window will appear.
Type in any company name (or not), and this CD key
Edited
Make sure Install Location: is C:\Office\
After entering this information, click on Next, and allow the installation to complete.
It's going to appear to be installing, but in fact, the files are being copied to your hard drive.
It will take several minutes for the entire contents of CD to be extracted into the C:\Office folder.
5. Start Menu > Run... > type the following and click on OK (or press the Enter key):
C:\Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /T:C:\Update /C
Click on Yes when asked.
6. Start Menu > Run... > Paste the following and click on OK (or press the Enter key):
msiexec /p C:\Update\MAINSP3.msp /a C:\Office\PRO11.MSI shortfilenames=true /qb
The Office 2003 Setup window will appear and will take several minutes to update.
7. Once that is done, you'll need to update the web components:
Start Menu > Run... > Paste the following and click on OK (or press the Enter key):
msiexec /p C:\Update\OWC11SP3.msp /a C:\Office\OWC11.MSI shortfilenames=true /qb
C:\Office now contains Microsoft Office 2003 installation files with all the updates inluded in Service packs 1, 2 & 3 integrated.
Burn a CD with the contents of C:\Office folder.
Note that you can also update any existing version of MS Office 2003 by double clicking on SETUP.EXE on MS Office 2003 CD with integrated Service Pack 3 and choose to update an existing installation.
All installed components will automatically be updated to Service Pack 3.
