The /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist seems impervious to being managed via configuration profile (at least on macOS Mojave). While not enforced management, add this script to a Jamf policy and run it on a routine basis such as once per week on scoped Macs.
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticCheckEnabled -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticDownload -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist ConfigDataInstall -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CriticalUpdateInstall -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce.plist AutoUpdate -bool TRUE
