Should I be allocating my Games and Load folders on an SSD or does it not matter? Right now I'm storing my folders on a slower hard disk drive. Would moving my folders to an ssd make for a better experience with Dolphin? Like faster load times, textures streaming, fewer stutters etc.
Does it matter where my Game/Load folders are located?

For the most part no. gamecube game use mini dvd's with transfer rate no where near a hard drive that aren't not failing(maybe a few meg comare to a 2.5 modern drive 70-120 mb or 3.5 hard drive 100-250mb )

While it doesn't matter for games loading, that isn't always the case. Custom Texture pack loading for example benefits tremendously from loading from an SSD. So, keep that in mind.
