This paper provides many experiments about changes to the endosomal system and autophagy and should be a good starting point.
Most of the treatments are done in the 5h to 24h range typical for cell culture studies. In theis relatively short time frame Chloroquine is well tolerated by cells. However, long term treatment will very likely be different.
