Think about merging two websites A and B. A is a popular website and B is a startup like one. All of the posts on B will be republished on A and posts will be deleted from B.

So here is my question, How can we do such migration without loosing SEO and hurting the value of website A on the search engines?
Will it be thought as a copy version by search engines?

Make sure that URL for posts is the exact match between two domains, and then use 301 [permanent] redirects, and place it in domainA root folder.

For example, to redirect:

domainA.com/path/post1.html
domainA.com/path/post2.html


to

domainB.com/path/post1.html
domainA.com/path/post2.html


Create .htaccess file [if you are using Apache] in domainA root folder with instruction:

# 301 redirect all request from domainA to domainB
Redirect 301 / domainB.com/

This will 301 redirect all requests from domainA to appropriate URLs on domainB.

To make the transition as seamless as possible, redirect each page from the old B site url, to its new location in the new A site url.
