I've heard there are problems with lag and jerky scrolling. Does a display capable of 120hz address these issues?

For console gaming, there isn't much of an advantage. Some aspects of motion might be made clearer, but it varies between implementations.
Real 120Hz (usually marketed as 3D-ready/capable/etc) on PC is a rather different, and has benefits for most games and gamers.
Also note that 120Hz displays don't necessarily transition beween colours any faster than good 60Hz monitors, meaning that input lag is often similar.
