Yes, smartd writes info to /var/log/daemon.log. When you installed smartmontools, you should have edited /etc/smartd.conf to meet your needs. There are comments in /etc/smartd.conf which explain things, and give examples. If that's not enough, then there is also the smartd.conf(5) man page, and the internet. I would still write the smartctl output to a log on boot as Ralf suggested. That way, you'll be able to find the info you need quickly. Also, I haven't looked at smartd enough to know if it produces all the details that smartctl can in the system logs.
