It won't lock it, and it should work. However, you might receive an SMS from AT&T telling you to get a new SIM card. I got that message when I first put the SIM from my unlocked iPhone 5s to my iPhone 6. I think that certain features like VoLTE might require a new SIM to work on AT&T. However, you can do that at your leisure since regular 3G voice and all data services will work just fine.
