technically yes, but the electromagnetic force is so much stronger than the gravitational force that the effects are usually negligible.
(yes electromagnetism is a stronger force. but it works in both directions, attraction and repulsion, whereas gravity only attracts. so the gravitational force can add up and be great, but the electromagnetic force is still greater. that's why you can levitate things with magnets on earth. a small magnet can overcome earth's gravitational pull.)

The phenomenon of magnetism is basicaly a Gravitational space phenomenon except the magnetic field is set in different configuration than the Gravity field.
Both exhibit a power of attraction as well as a power of repulsion. Therefore there is a general relativity between magnetism and gravity

In the General Theory of Relativity it effects electromagnetism.

i think it does. light is an electromagnetic wave. Gravity bends it around the sun
