The fact that a bill is a silver certificate isn't related to whether it can or can't be spent during a depression.
At the time they were issued, silver certificates could be exchanged for their value in silver metal, but either way the purchasing power was the same because the price of silver was controlled. If you had a $10 silver certificate it was worth $10 either as a bill or when converted to silver metal.
In 1968 the government stopped the practice of exchanging silver certificates for silver metal so any that may still be around can only be spent in the same way as modern bills. In any case, though, some of them (generally not 1957 $1 bills, though) are worth more to a collector so spending them wouldn't be a wise financial move.
