SAO would be a harem without a doubt, log horizon would be a harem if they spent more time developing the relationships between shiroe and the other girls much more then if they did with the other guys.

I'm pretty sure a harem doesn't matter if the relationships are developed. As you said, 1 boy+3 or more girls is enough to be classified as a harem. So by that, Log Horizon is a harem. It's just doesn't stress it.
