I tested on this

Code:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

$ uname -a
Linux xxx.xxx.xxx 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am using Cygwin for executing the script. May be the reason for error.

Alternative might work for you

Code:
#!/bin/bash

replace(){

# Do entry here abc  = test1
cat <<EOF
abc test1
efg test2
gfdg test3
EOF

}

SEARCH_IN_FILES="html htm css js"


while read line;do

    if grep -w "${line##*.}" <<<$SEARCH_IN_FILES >/dev/null; then
        
        replace | while read i j;do
               		sed -i 's/'"$i"'/'"$j"'/g' $line
        	  done 
    fi

done <"log"
