(I'm assuming "reading a code from an accessory" means that the code is presented by the accessory to be read by the device's camera.)
That sort of issue is unpredictable. The guidelines (in paraphrase) say that apps with serious usability issues will be rejected. In my experience of QR scanner apps, not letting the user see whether the code is properly sized, lighted, deskewed, focused, or even on-camera would be a serious usability issue.
But that would depend on the inclinations of a particular reviewer on a particular day. Reviewers sometimes disregard even explicit guidelines. My guess: Expect approval, but reserve time in your schedule to fix it.
