According to the description on its Wikipedia page:

"The South Magnetic Pole is the wandering point on the Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards."

In 2015, its location is 64.28°S 136.59°E.

If your question is about the geomagnetic pole, the Wikipedia entry reads:

"The Earth's geomagnetic field can be approximated by a tilted dipole (like a bar magnet) placed at the center of the Earth. The South Geomagnetic Pole is the point where the axis of this best-fitting tilted dipole intersects the Earth's surface in the Southern Hemisphere. As of 2005 it was calculated to be located at 79.74°S 108.22°E, near the Vostok Station. Because the field is not an exact dipole, the South Geomagnetic Pole does not coincide with the South Magnetic Pole."
