I personally don't think this will happen. If their customer has the facts behind them, & has done nothing wrong, i see no cause that a biller is going to terminate business over the fear of a suit from a third party. Its expensive for complaintants to litigate so i dont think petty complaints are going to make websites disappear. it is also bad business for any company to dispose of its customers so cavalierly.

It's not easy to predict how individual companies will choose to manage those risks, but let's say in the case of a registrar:
$8 a year income (1 domain) vs the risk of getting sued.
Now let's take paypal: They also have a history of suspend first, ask questions later.
Even if a host does not cut you off, SOPA notices can still be used as an efficient Denial of Service tactic. 1 semi-cut-and-paste email from an accuser will require a lot of effort from the accused to counter.
