Usually not. Because of the CARD Act, universal default, the act of raising your rates based on actions on another credit line are outlawed. So assuming you keep your payments, your loan mod shouldn't have any impact on your credit card rates.  Now I will say, the issuer could cancel your card or lower your limit as those things are not covered in the CARD Act.
