A flashing service light (called a MIL or malfunction indicator lamp) indicates misfiring has been detected. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR $$$$$. Get the misfiring repaired, could be bad coil or coil packs, bad wires, bad plugs. Driving with misfire can destroy the catalytic converter.

What harm or danger could occur by driving while service engine light is on steady?

You can drive the car but should have the vehicle checked soon as possible. BUT if the service engine soon light is flashing, stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so then shut off the engine immediately. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the service engine soon light flashing you will do catastrophic damage to the catalytic converter(s).
