I agree, you cannot log SIC in Part 91 where an SIC is not required, but I've seen weirder things in logbooks.
Correct. There is no such thing as unless the type certificate or the regs in question (usually a 135/121 OPSPEC) require an SIC.
A safety pilot can log total time and PIC. He might as well log both. He can also log category/class (ASEL, AMEL, etc), type, and night if applicable.
