Is a one hour layover in SLC enough?

With an on time arrival one hour will be plenty of time. You probably have enough slack to absorb a 20-25 minute delay and just about make your connection. If there's a schedule change and the connection time falls I'd consider asking for different flights, but for now you should be fine.
