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.
