Sea ice extent does not affect the sea level rise, but is an indicator of warming, which has various other concerns.
Arctic sea ice is critical to the survival of the polar bear, for example, in addition to indicating impact on the grounded Greenland glaciers, which will affect sea level rise as a result of their melting.
Antarctic sea ice indicates the impact on the glaciers, which are grounded and their melting will affect sea level rise as a result.
