What about electromagnetic interference?

Even though a geomagnetic craft will use a static (DC) magnetic field, the fact that the field will be moving can induce currents in conductive objects. But generally, if a geomagnetic craft maintains a safe distance, these currents will be insignificant- typically in the microampere range. Normal shielding will protect most sensitive electronics against interference.
