Design Pattern

Think about how input and drawing propagates through your engine. Input: the game window registers some input, and then needs to pass it down to the current scene through the SceneManager, and the Scene passes it down to the Player entity. Input probably can't be a part of SceneManager, because input comes from the game window, which probably belongs to the Game, not the SceneManager.
Drawing is similar - the Game decides where the game is to be drawn (probably the window, or perhaps some intermediate render texture), and passes that into the current scene, and the scene draws its Map, which draws the MapObject and then the Enemies and Player. The camera determines where on the screen everything is drawn.

You need an explicit SceneManager. "Manager"s are rarely useful in practice. All the work it does can probably be done by the Game and the Scenes - the Game just needs to keep track of which scene is currently active, and to change the active scene when asked (e.g. if the player goes to the next map, or opens a menu)

Different Components communicate with each other using Events (different ones from the events the window emits for inputs, but the same idea). So for example, whena physics component detects that the player landed on the ground, it'll emit an event. The actor's Sound Component listens for that event and plays the "landed" sound when it happens. Animations can be updated similarly. The event system works using a Subject-Observer pattern, where Subjects emit events and Observers listen for them. A single object may be both a subject and an observer (e.g. an Animation Component might be an Observer reacting to physics events, while being the Subject of a Sound Component that reacts to new animations starting by playing sounds). Info on this pattern: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/observer.html
Different scenes also communicate with each other and other objects using this same system. The menus, for example, mostly just emit events, and it's the observing game or scene that does the actual work.
