Within Legends, there are many different Star Destroyer classes - Victory, Interdictor, multiple Imperial class, Super Star Destroyers, etc.
What models are present in the new Disney canon?
Answer
Venator-class
These are the Star Destroyers used in the Clone Wars, seen in the Clone Wars animated series and Revenge of the Sith.
Victory-class
Mentioned in the canon novel Tarkin:
Originally a cramped garrison base deployed from a Victory-class Star destroyer, Sentinel now sprawled in all directions as a result of prefabricated modules that had since been delivered or assembled on site.
Tarkin Chapter 2: "Blows Against the Empire"
Secutor-class
Also mentioned in Tarkin:
The Secutor-class Star Destroyer Conquest hung in fixed orbit above the Carida Imperial Navy Deepdock Facility Two, some half a million kilometers from the eponymous planet.

Tector-class
Identified in the short story "The Levers of Power":
Other Star Destroyers in the Imperial line had suffered far worse damage — the Vehement and the Tector-class Harbinger had been destroyed
Rise of the Empire "The Levers of Power"
qaz-class
Mentioned in the canon novel Catalyst:
Krennic inclined his head in acknowledgment. "Preliminary results indicate that the energy released during the test-fire had the destructive power of the combined batteries of a qaz-class Star Destroyer."
Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel Chapter 22: "Exit Wounds"
Imperial-class
The class mostly seen in the original trilogy films. We know they still come in two varities, Imperial I-class and Imperial II-class, at least since the canon comic series Shattered Empire:
Shara Bey: I've got an Imperial-class Star Destroyer at two-two mark six...looks like a deuce.
Shattered Empire 3
Super Star Destroyer
Clearly, the Super Star Destroyer, seen in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, remains canon.
Resurgent-class
Used by the First Order:
Almost invisible when they first dropped from a port in the side of the immense Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, the four transport vessels were of a proven design.
The Force Awakens Chapter 1
Interdictor cruisers
Although they're not considered Star Destroyers, it's worth remarking that Tarkin introduces three separate varieties of Interdictor ships:
[P]ositioned against a radiant sweep of stars, floated three Interdictor vessels, a Detainer CC-2200, a newer model CC-7700 frigate, and—fresh from deepdock in the Corellia system and as yet untested—an Immobilizer 418.
