When the SRS light is On the system has determined that a problem exists and because the system doesn't have the ability to judge how that detected problem will affect the air bags deployment the system shuts down the airbag system. They will not deploy in an accident where a normally functioning system would deploy the bags.
The SRS is a supplemental restraint system meaning that your seat belts are the primary restraint system. We're told that "airbags do save lives"; if that is true then you compromise your safety by not attending to the cause of the SRS light being on.
The good news is it probably won't cost you anything to get it fixed at a Honda dealer. Honda extended the warranty on the one part that is most likely to be the cause of the light coming on for all Civics between 2001 and 2004. You didn't post the year of your car but its probably in that range. If so, take it to any Honda dealer for diagnosis. I'm sure they will find the problem to be either a failed Occupant Presence Detection Sensor (warranty extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first) or for the switch in the seatbelt buckle that tells the SRS computer that you have your seat belt on (lifetime warranty on seat belts). Its almost certain to be one or the other, so save yourself the grief and get it fixed
