No. Birds have a very poor sense of smell. That little myth began pretty much as a way to get little kids and people who don't know what they're doing from interfering with nests and fledgling birds. If there is an obvious nest, go ahead and put the chick back then leave, the parents are there somewhere watching, hiding until they're sure the nest and chick are safe to go back to. The birds won't be able to smell you on the chick.
