Resistors in A.C circuits completely, absolutely and totally follow ohms law. Ohm's law is followed by resistances and has nothing to with the alternating or direct nature of current.

Ohm's law is however not followed by non linear loads. Also, in A.C systems we generally write V=I*Z which is analogous to V=I*R in D.C circuits. For capacitive and inductive circuits the current magnitude varies in accordance with the circuit impedance but there is a phase shift corresponding to the lagging/ leading nature of current.

Conclusion: it's absolutely wrong to say that ohm's law is not followed in A.C. Its as much applicable to AC systems as to DC systems.
