As long as it still stands out as a heading, you'd have nothing to worry about at all. Even if you did, the only chances of it affecting anything is if you were flagged for a manual review, and did enough other devious crap that changing an h1 were just the straw that broke the camel's back.
That's what CSS is for. Just don't use it to hide things, and you'll be just fine.

Even if it didn't look like a heading you wouldn't get in trouble for directing an h1 tag in CSS to be small. Now so small you can't read then you have issues

Was just thinking about those that make their h1 tags blend in with the rest of the text by using the same font, size, etc. and making it appear in-line so that they can put heading tags around content within paragraphs

few years back in an SEO contest, one trick I used was to use CSS to make a line of text 1 px high...ie my keyword stuffing looked like a line on screen to the viewer, but the google bot read same as text...
nice trick. worked too, I think back in 04 or 05....course, the google bot got smarter and my client SEO campaigns aren't a dumb-*** contest...
but my point is that CSS can -- and should IMHO -- be used to change HTML code (and it's text keywords) into whatever you want it to "look like" to the user while NOT hindering the google bot in it's index sweeps....
works it does and I can name 4 or 5 top SEO types who use this tactic on their own sites/blogs (as well as my own) so they would also use same in client SEO campaigns too, I'd imagine, just like I do.
empirical evidence? only my own....but I think it's pretty solid advice, eh! ymmv tho...
