No it does not. Why would you encrypt your kernel/initrd?

On UEFI you have to have an unencrypted partition anyway, because
that's what the UEFI firmware boots from. Even if you boot with Grub:
the first step is always a VFAT file system (the ESP), without
encryption or anything.

sd-boot simply decides that the VFAT support in the firmware is OK to
load kernels/initrds from too, to make things simple, i.e. reuse the
existing storage stack you cannot avoid anyway.
