If there are no files on your card, where you actually even using it as supplemental storage before?
As for the DiskDigger app, if your query is whether it was supposed to write any restored files to your card depends on it actually being able to find any photos in the internal storage to begin with. If you went through any kind of restore steps and getting it back into a usable state, that greatly reduces the chance of getting your photos restored as a lot of them may or may not still even exist. Also, note DiskDigger is very, very limited in restoring deleted files on non-root devices so there's also that caveat. Read through its features listing in its Google Play Store page, they really should make this a much more featured warning but at least it is there.

Things don't bode well in recovering those photos. But be sure to implement some kind of backup solution so you don't lose anything from this point on. As
@ocnbrze suggested, look into installing the Google Photos app, it includes an automatic backup & sync function so your entire photo library co-exists on your phone and in your online Google account.

If for whatever reason you don't want to have your photos to be auto-backed up into the Google's cloud, think about using Samsung's Smart Switch. Install it on a local computer and then you use it to manually back up your S7's data. Smart Switch will also allow you to a full backup so if the need arises it makes doing a restore much easier, and if you upgrade to another Samsung phone it makes migrating your data a lot less of a hassle.
