There is no direct equivalent, system32 is just a collection of libraries, exes, and confs.
Some of what others have said is accurate, but to explain a bit further:
Longer explanation:

system32 is just some folder name the MS engineers came up back in the day.
Linux on the other hand has many distros, many different contributors, and generally just encourages a … better … separation for types of files, imho
The linux filesystem is well defined if you are inclined to research more about it.
Understanding the core principals will make understanding virtually everything else about “linux” easier, imho.

The basics:
ls
,mv
, things like thatparted
,reboot

/srv/db
for database volumes,/srv/www
for web-data volumes,/srv/Media
for large-file storage, etc, etcFor completeness:
/var/log
