Changing the SIM card in itself will not do this. Devices can be set to require the device unlock PIN upon restart, if someone DID change the SIM (why they would do this to you is a whole other question) they may have shut down the phone to do so.

Do you have a Samsung account linked to your phone? You can use the device location feature to also reset the unlock code and biometrics.
