Yellow powder is a type of mold from the soil staying wet for too long. Snake plants need to REALLY dry out between waterings. They also need a very well draining soil, the kind made for succulents/cacti is perfect. Always better to underwater than overwater! You can scrape off the top inch of soil with the mold and add a fresh layer of dry soil on top.
