Social media is nofollow. However, I think links from social media has influence on SEO if it has a lot of clicks that brings traffic to your site. Many articles in social media such as Linkedin are indexed in Google.
Thank you Swapnil, Search Engines will see ONLY Do-Follow links are possibly black hat techniques and might punish you. Content is key and looking as natural as possible.
DO follow means Google will index it, No follow means Google will not index it. Dofollow helps in increasing Search engine ranking while no follow helps to build authority.

No follow links don't crawl & index by search engine crawler. But do follow links crawl & index by search engine.
