Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.

2022-04-29wotc

Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.

2022-04-29wotc

A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.
