It disables bending, but Seismic Sense is not technically a bending ability in itself, as no arm or leg motions are used to bend. It merely augments Toph's Earthbending by using vibrations caused by ground movements. In other words, she could still use it to see, but can't bend further until the chi flows are restored.
