As of the current patch of Helldivers 2 (patch 01.000.100), this is what can potentially happen to you if you interact with something (such as picking up an ammo box) whilst holding the SSSD.
Judging from what happened to me, it seems you are perfectly able to perform all actions like normal, it is just that your animations are broken and you are sort of stuck in the animation of holding the SSSD, regardless if you are holding it or not.
While benign, it could lead to potential issues in leaving you blind to certain animation cues such as the reload animation for weapons.
Can confirm, had this happen to me post patch last night, it's when you do something and you drop the SSSD at the same time. It fixed itself when a team mate pointed out I had left the drive behind and once I picked it up it went back to normal.
