There's a list in the SC strategy guide.

Don't just memorize idioms. Make sure you know what they mean, too.

These days, the GMAT almost exclusively tests very common idioms. (E.g., between x and y and not between x or y. Or twice as much as... and not twice as much than....)
So, if you are at least decently familiar with written English, it's unlikely that you will gain much by studying a list of idioms.

On the other hand, if you have relatively little familiarity with the written language, then a list can be a decent place to start.
