Nothing usually happens.
When struck by lightning, the electrical energy travels through the metal skin of the aircraft and is dissipated through the static wicks. Burn marks will be found at the entry and exit point of the strike ( exit points occur if not all the energy is dissipated via the wicks ). Occasionally in the more severe instances electrical equipment or avionics may be affected or damaged.
