Sea mines come in so many varieties, it's hard to tell.  Influence mines (acoustic, pressure, magnetic, etc.) are generally subsurface detonations, so true hovercraft should be pretty well insulated from the shock. Sidewall hovercraft (SES) would be potentially exposed, since they do have sidehulls and drivetrains in the water.  Surface or shallow subsurface floating contact mines are definitely still a thing and could certainly threaten SES and skirted hovercraft.
