Tie-dye uses fiber-reactive dyes, where the color sort of fuses with the actual fiber of the material (why almost all tie-dye you see is on cotton, natural fibers play nice with dye!) This means that if your tie-dyed shirt is already died, and has been heat set -- this is the most important step in dyeing, usually tie-dyed stuff is thrown for a cycle round the drying machine, otherwise it can be ironed -- then you wash normally. Just wash the shirt according to general laundry rules, in cold water, and you'll be fine. If you didn't dye the shirt yourself and are not sure what sort of dye was used, experiment with soaking the shirt or running hot water over it and seeing if the color comes away. If it does, try ironing the shirt with a press cloth (a piece of scrap fabric, usually muslin or white cotton) between the iron and the garment, and the garment and ironing board (otherwise you'll have a lovely tie-dyed ironing board cover!) then putting it in the dryer for a cycle all alone. Hopefully that will heat set the dye if that step was ignored by the dyer. The whole point of dying any article of clothing, espeically with fiber reactive dye, is to fundamentally change the material, so as long as you are careful washing a tie-dyed shirt should not hurt it.
