This has to do with the properties of various sugar molecules. Some can crystalize, others do not.

Most soft drinks are sweetened with corn syrup. After the soda water evaporates, you are left with the original corn syrup concentrate. This will not dry to a solid unless the air is extremely dry. When exposed to normal air moisture levels, it becomes a sticky syrup again.

This is unlike sucrose (cane or beet) sugar, which can crystalize at common air humidities. In fact, crystals form inside the syrup. Dry sucrose crystals absorb moisture and stick together; you get clumps in your sugar bowl.

You may associate carbonation with dehydration, but more likely - the beverage is caffeinated, and the caffein is a diuretic, so may dehydrate you. I am thus not answering about carbonation per se, but about its common companion, Caffeine, and its effect. I welcome more comments.
