    It is a good idea to set 301 redirection using .htaccess to redirect to new location. There should be no issue for SEO using this redirection.

    It would be much better to use 301 redirection via .htaccess file than html redirection. It's something that Google recommends in their webmasters FAQ, so that would be a safe option.
