There is a journal names "Social Choice and Welfare" that focuses on welfare economics. Also, I would expect that many journals on Public Economics would have a large amount of papers related to welfare and social choice

Journal of public economics may be the better option for applied welfare economics. Social choice and welfare may be the better option for the theory of welfare economics.
