MyBB does have social mods. Not many,but it has them.
Here is a list of some -
Social Sites - Add which social sites you're a member of so you can find eachother on social networking sites.

iShare - iShare adds a box to the thread page with links to share the thread in social communities like facebook or twitter. You can manage the buttons easily in the adminstration.

As for switching to SMF. If this is the reason why you want to,do not do it. As I just showed you,MyBB does have social plugins.

I like Mybb. I just want to show my staff a little bit what people think.<br /><br />-- Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:04 pm --<br /><br />Wait, I was talking about converting the whole thing to a social network. If there is a mybb plugin for that

If you want to make the forum a social network IPB and SMF would be the best. However why would you want to make a social network from a forum??Taz said:
You could also bridge with a highly customized CMS like joomla + social plugins.

If you want social media integration, you should also do the following along with what NBK*Twitch suggested, though just the Facebook/Twitter Likes and a Google +1 button should be more than sufficient. I don't really think iShare is needed.
http://community.mybb.com/thread-82730.html - Login with Facebook, one-click login like IPB 3.x, vBulletin 4, and XenForo. Excellent feature for members.
http://mods.mybb.com/view/facebook-open-graph-meta-tags - Open Graph Meta Tags complement the like button by providing them metadata and some other good stuff.
Lastly, even with both, the Facebook Like button does not increment like it does with IPB or XenForo. In order to do so, we use a find/replace in template edits.
