It depends on the level of formality. I think invalid is somewhat of an outdated term, more so constained to literature and other written text nowadays. However, depending on the context, I think it would not be impolilte as much as passé to call someone a sick person an invalid. (If you are looking for a word to substitute for the phrase 'a sick person,' though, invalid is probably the best word that exists) Hope this helps!
