致す is the general humble auxiliary for 'to do', while 申し上げる as an auxiliary is reserved for attaching to お-/ご- prefixed verbs in especially formal, respect-showing contexts.
申し上げる is the humble form used when telling or informing a social superior, while 告げる is a neutral verb for announcing or informing without regard to relative status.
