I was the pilot not flying and we were cleared via the FMS Bridge Visual 28R approach. I contacted Tower and received a landing clearance on [Runway] 28R. Outside of the F101D fix; Tower gave us a low altitude alert; and we continued to cross F101D above 1;200 FT. The flight continued normally; we were stabilized by 1;000 FT and we landed safely. I'm not sure; however; if we crossed SAMUL at or above 1;500 FT. We were landing into the sun at dusk and the workload was high at this point. I am unsure if we crossed SAMUL at or above 1;500 FT; since we received the alert from Tower. I will be sure to keep my scan up; especially during high work loads.
CRJ-700 First Officer reports being issued a low altitude alert by SFO Tower approaching SAMUL during the FMS Bridge Visual approach to Runway 28R. The flying pilot continues to a normal landing.
