Problem

I am using a SSH key to connect to a server. If I go onto the remote host and modify my password will this require generating new SSH keys?

Fix for: Does changing my server password require new SSH keys?

Low Risk

No. By logging in with a Public / Private key pair you are replacing the password normally used. This is also the reason you don't need a new key pair for ever server, just one works for them all.
