*How Search Engines Treat Hidden Content*

Google and Bing do count SEO of hidden count but it treats it with less importance, a good example of how you can replicate this is copy a long sentence within a hidden element then search for it on Google, it should return the page that you copied that from but none of the keywords will be included in the description with 'BOLD' indicating a solid match.
