Even if you get more than just smp it all depends on the Company policy. The last place I worked they had a fab maternity policy and you didn't have to pay anything back, infact they had an incentive for you to return you got an extra months salary after you had been back for one month!!
If in doubt ask them for a copy of their maternity policy which they should really have given you or talked you through before you went on maternity.
Take care xx
