social facilitation is a term of social psychology which occurs during people influenced by their performance in the presence of other people. it is a part of a group of people. for example:

when a student asked to perform a task on board and if he knows about the task then he becomes confident and easily attempts the task in front of others but the task is complex then the person might get anxious lower confident in front of other people.

Social loafing, on the other hand, is affected by working in a group where reduces performances due to lack of accountability, and free-rider effects, little incentive, and person think that work can be done without their much efforts and just shake the credit of performance a group without many efforts.
