The configuration file is /etc/sddm.conf.d/default.conf copied from /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf.
Just make any change to /etc/sddm.conf.d/default.conf that you'll be able to see visually, like the "Theme":
[Theme]
# Current theme name
Current=elarun
Just make sure /etc/sddm.conf/default.conf doesn't exist.
SUMMARY
sddm doesn't look in "/etc/sddm.conf.d" for .conf files.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Copy /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf into /etc/sddm.conf.d/
Make a change you'll be able to recognize (eg. theme)
Restart sddm
OBSERVED RESULT
The change in the .conf will not be reflected in sddm.
EXPECTED RESULT
sddm will look in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ and load any configuration in there.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
man sddm.conf.5 mentions the search order for configuration files as:
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d
/etc/sddm.conf.d
/etc/sddm.conf
#2 is ignored. If I take that same changed conf from #2 and put that in #3 (where #3 didn't exist previously), it will load it then.
