Such a traffic jam is unlikely at SFO late on a Friday evening. Regardless, even if there were such congestion, you wouldn't get stuck in it if you're going to the domestic or international parking garages. Just follow the signs to whichever garage you choose. You won't face any problems doing that unless you encounter something I've never seen in 25 years of using SFO.
