How to force table cell td content to wrap?
Use table-layout:fixed in the table and word-wrap:break-word in the td.
See this example:
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {border-collapse:collapse; table-layout:fixed; width:310px;}
table td {border:solid 1px #fab; width:100px; word-wrap:break-word;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Lorem Ipsum</td>
<td>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>LoremIpsumhasbeentheindustry'sstandarddummytexteversincethe1500s,whenanunknown</td>
<td>Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td></td>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna...</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
DEMO:

You are setting white-space to nowrap, which prevents the text from wrapping across multiple lines:
nowrapCollapses whitespace as for
normal, but suppresses line breaks (text wrapping) within the source.
You need to add both word-break: break-word and white-space: normal (or just remove this property, as normal is its default value) to make the text fit in the cell:
body { font-family: monospace;}
.a { width: 300px; word-wrap: break-word; background: yellow; /* Just to keep text selection hightlight inside the table: */ overflow: hidden;}
table { border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid black; margin: 0 auto;}
th,td { border: 3px solid black; padding: 4px;}<table> <tbody> <tr> <td> SOME STUFF </td> <td> <div>A</div> <div>A-text</div> </td> <td> <div>B</div> <div>C-text</div> </td> <td> <div>C</div> <div>C-text</div> </td> </tr>

Add the following code to your td's CSS style table.tableSection th, table.tableSection td { ... }
word-break: break-all;
Here is the updated fiddle:

Word wrap in table cell
Use word-break:break-all instead of word-wrap: break-word;
display: table-cell;

table-layout: fixed will get force the cells to fit the table (and not the other way around), e.g.:
<table style="border: 1px solid black; width: 100%; word-wrap:break-word;
table-layout: fixed;">
