Use prop() instead of attr()

$('#SaveCheckbox').prop ('checked') != true

As of jQuery 1.6, the .attr() method returns undefined for attributes that have not been set. To retrieve and change DOM properties such as the checked, selected, or disabled state of form elements, use the .prop() method, jQuery Docs

You can also use :checked

if($('#SaveCheckbox').is(":checked"))

OR

if($('#SaveCheckbox:checked').length)
