Old school hard drives used magnetic discs to store data. Modern SSDs don't use magnetism to store data. It's safe.

What do they use actually

A whole lot of teeny tiny semiconductor switches that can be set to on or off. I'm oversimplifying. Google it if you're curious.

If it is an SSD and you are sure of that, it won't be a problem. SSDs store informatin without having to have power applied and in the form of tiny physical changes of the storage which can only change with electricity and is not affected by magnetism. TLDR, it will be fine, especially if the SSD has a metal enclosure.
