MD80 aircraft departing on SID started flying the wrong one until the departure controller intervened and questioned where they were going. Reporter captain says he assumed that the first officer knew the correct SID and when asking the first officer, prior to departure, he still didn't catch that the first officer was planning the wrong SID.

Narrative:
PF (first officer) flew wrong SID for about 1 min. Controller asked our destination (smf) and we both realized we should be flying different SID. No conflicts with other traffic occurred. I made a wrong assumption that first officer knew the correct SID we should have been on. I even asked him and didn't question his answer.
