Depending on how much it rises, It could be affected straight away. Since it is quite flat, It could be completely flooded if the ocean rose a few feet. Note that predictions for ocean level rise are currently much less than that, but even a few inches would move the ocean inland a fair distance and since it is so tiny to begin with, that would be rather noticeable.

How will global warming affect Maldives and Bangladesh?
The Maldives and Bangladesh will be affected because sea levels will rise due to thermal expansion resulting in floods as there the land lies low. Initially they will be affected by storm surges which will flood their croplands with sea water, making them useless. Later the whole islands may be submerged.
