When speaking to someone very close to you, it allows you to drop all formalities so you can say 생일 축하해 which is Happy birthday. When speaking to someone casually but still in a polite manner you can say 생일 축하해요 which is also happy birthday. When speaking to someone in a more formal polite manner you can say 생일 축하합니다 this is also happy birthday. When speaking with the highest form of respect and formality you can say 생일 축하드립니다 this one however is I offer birthday wishes to you.
common way of saying it: 생일 축하해요 not that formal, which you can say to your friend: 생일 축하해 formal one: 생일 축하합니다 and an a short one, usually use it in messages (more like slang): 생축, 생일 ㅊㅋ
