We present the thickness dependence of magnetotransport study on the mechanically exfoliated topological superconductor candidate SnTaS2. As the thickness decreases, the superconducting transition temperature Tc is gradually suppressed and ultimately out of detection when the thickness is comparable to the superconducting coherence length. The enhanced disorder with the decrease in thickness is expected to play an important role on the suppressed Tc. Furthermore, the distinct weak antilocalization effect is observed in the SnTaS2 nanoflakes, and the temperature-dependent phase coherence length extracted from weak antilocalization agrees with strong electron-phonon scattering in the sample. Our results provide insight into the electronic properties in the low dimensional limit of topological superconductor candidate SnTaS2.
