I read on a forum a long time ago that Sarafina had the following lines originally, before the Bath Scene was shortned down to what it is today.
"Nala, you just had a bath!"
"Try and stay clean for once!"
"And come back before sunset!"
Anyway, if Sarafina should have more lines, I suppose they would have to be added to the Bath scene, it seems to be the best and most natural place.
To be honest, I’m surprised that Sarafina didn’t seem to understand that Simba was up to something. I mean, she was bathing Nala at the same time Simba whispered to her "I’ll tell you when we get there." If she did hear him, it’s odd that she didn’t ask about where they were going, or at the very least tell Nala to be careful before the she left.
But yeah, here are a couple of my suggestions to lines Sarafina could have had:
[Bathing Nala, right before Simba comes] "Oh Nala, how you always manage to get so dirty, I’ll never know" and similar lines, like "Stop squirming" etc.
[Expanded line] What do you think, Sarabi? Should we let the cubs visit this "cool" place? (it could give a hint that Sarafina too understood that they were up to something, so she didn’t look clueless compared to the wise Sarabi.)
Nala: "Mom, can I go with Simba?" Sarafina: "Yes, I trust you to be careful and sensible." or something like that.
