You don't get SSSS boarding passes except by collecting them at the airport, so you can't see it on the App, you just won't get a boarding pass. But check-in and seat selection / movement still works on SSSS. Incidentally if your hotel is near to T5 / T3 (which ever is relevant for your flight) after you have checked in you can retrieve boarding passes from the machines the night before.
More information on SSSS can be found in the BA Dashboard, in Why Can't I Check In - just look for the stressed passenger icon! [It's new],
