SIM card removed while backing up, has it stopped the back up?

Hi all, in removed the sim card from my 6s running iOS 12.1.2 while it was backing up and I think it has stopped the back up to iCloud but I’m not sure. Any help would be appreciated!

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Very well could be, you may need to start over. Why would anyone remove the SIM while backing up?
