Do sim pilots log their time?

Not Cat 3c.
Why? All instrument approaches are flown by pilots, including Cat
IIIc.
Yes, you do. It's required. Cat 3c is an autoland. The pilot is there
to monitor the electronics. He does not land the plane.
He doesn't autoland by pushing a button. There's quite a checklist.
In fact, it appears to be similar in workload to a visual approach,
except that the time is spent configuring the FMC or autopilot rather
than manipulating the yoke or pedals. And with zero visibility and/or
generally bad weather, the stress factor is certainly an additional
workload.
