I am trying to execute send "sed -e\'s/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g\' test_log" from within the spawn but it is throwing me this error:

bash-4.1$ invalid command name "0-9A-F"
while executing
"0-9A-F"
invoked from within
"send "sed -e\'s/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g\' test_log""
(file "./test.sh" line 19)

I have added \ too for escape character in sed, but still it is not working.

What am I missing here?

Don't escape the single quote in sed
i.e. use 

sed -e's/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g' test_log

and not 

sed -e\'s/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g\' test_log
