Probably not, depends on where the clog is at and how the dishwasher drain is connected. I wouldn't chance it, but the worst that will happen is the sink will fill with the water from the dishwasher.

If your sink was clogged and you put liquid plumber in it but when you plunged it the fluid went into the dishwasher and the after cycle is over and it stinks how do you get the smell out?
Vinegar. Run your dishwasher empty with a cup of vinegar sitting inside. On the rinse, stop it and run a cup of bleach through the rest of the cleaning cycle. It will clean your dishwasher and the pipes at the same time. For your sink, fill it 1/4 full of warm water and disolve 1 cup of baking soda in the water. Run your blender as you let the water out. Then follow with a cup of vinegar in both sides of the sink.
