I hope someone more knowledgeable goes ahead and posts an answer to that. Most ejections result in some injury to the person, as it is a fairly violent activity, with a brief 20g impact when the seat fires.
Almost all ejection occupants will suffer some form of spinal compression, typically they'll lose half an inch of height. If the person doesn't follow protocol exactly, they may lose an arm on the way out. If the head isn't perfectly in line with the spine, the neck can be broken. So it's pretty much a given if the crew member fires the ejection seat, there is no other viable option, and the aircraft is uncontrollable, or will very soon be uncontrollable, by a pilot or an autopilot.

DeBorah Beatty has been writing almost since she learned Disconnect Your Oughta-Pilot by [Beatty, Deborah].
Also, if the aircraft is gyrating wildly, the seat can malfunction, or the occupant can be struck by parts of the aircraft, so waiting until the aircraft is completely out of control isn't a wise move, either. Ejection seats are complex enough without integrating special processing of the event into the autopilot. Since the autopilot can't land even an intact plane on its own, there's nothing it could do to save the plane.
Some ejections are indeed performed from aircraft that could potentially be saved, and have been landed with similar damage. For certain historical reasons, many navies maintain an understandable bias against fires on the deck, and would prefer just ditching one plane.
On dry land, there's more latitude for crash landings. As for preventing or causing collateral damage on the ground, the only way is for the pilot to point their plane somewhere and pray. The autopilot is a reactive system - it doesn't concern itself with what's wrong or model the aircraft, just corrects what happens, so, possibly counterintuitively, it's often not too bad at controlling a damaged plane.
Since fighter control surfaces are large enough to counteract a lot of damage-induced drag, a working autopilot has a chance to maintain its last heading even with a damaged craft. And that's as good as you could get with the current level of flight automation. It generally does nothing. When a pilot ejects from the plane, that bird is screwed beyond saving. There is no autopilot in the world which is sophisticated enough to fly a military plane even when it's fully intact, let alone when it's on fire and going down.
However, as I heard, there was a Su model or some descendant of the Flanker, maybe just a prototype? I don't know if it's an actual feature in current Russian naval Flankers.
I imagine there's probably a switch such that over enemy or unknown territory the plane self-destructs. But you don't want this over your own training areas such that some kind of controlled landing may be programmed in when in training mode. Thank you for your interest in this question.
