It may not be from the Zoloft but I have heard of people getting muscle twitches on Zoloft.
There's a list of less common or rare side effects on this site
Mayo - Sertraline/Zoloft side effects

How low is the dose and do you take it with any other medications?

Muscle twitching when on an SSRI when taken combined with other certain medications could be a sign of serotonin syndrome. I'm not saying you have that. I'm just letting you know.
