They could be synced in Google by default. Log in to your Gmail account on a pc in Chrome if you can, and in your inbox page you should see SMS in a list on the left side. I don't use Chrome on my phone but they may be there too.
They may have been saved in other ways, and there are apps that back up sms so you can clear your messages occasionally.
