VTEC may or may not work when the check engine light is on. It depends on why the check engine light is one. If it is on because of a problem with the VTEC system, then, no, it will not work properly.

Why does your vtec on your gsr not kick in at all the check engine light is on?

VTEC stands for (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control ) and I have no idea how you would be able to feel it " kick in "If your engine light is on you will need to have the codes read by a scanner, then you will have a much better idea what you are looking at.

Is the engine in a 99 Civic EX a sohc vtec or just a standard sohc and if it is how can you verify that?

The standard engine in a 1999 Civic EX is a VTEC engine. It should say VTEC on the valve cover. there is an engine code printed on the block itself if it is a sohc vtec it will read "D16Y8" on the block, plus vtec engines have something called a vtec silenoied located near the distributor. Actually the D16Y8 valve cover does not say VTEC on it.
