JMeter normally scans .jars under its classpath 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#classpath> during 
startup only.

You can enable JMeter debug logging 
<https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/jmeter-logging> for ClassFinder 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/api/org/apache/jorphan/reflect/ClassFinder.html> 
to see when and how it's called

With regards to individual class loading it's better to monitor it using 
a profiler tool like JVisualVM <https://visualvm.github.io/>
