I believe it tells you when it replaces a file, but there is no log that I'm aware of. You could run it and redirect the output to a file to look at later though. Something like:

sfc /scannow > sfclog.txt

That will redirect standard output to the sfclog.txt file.

sfc /scannow 2>&1 sfclog.txt

That will redirect standard output and standard error to the sfclog.txt file.

Or ... download a port of the Unix tee program (splits the output stream to the screen and also to a specified file.

sfc / scannow | tee sfclog.txt
