I presume it would, otherwise they are useless as added security.

My (Australian) passport has a computer chip, I don't know it it is RFID or not, but I do know that the passport is invalid without the working chip.

I have no information about the USA, but I can't imagine a bureaucracy tolerating defective documentation. They hate anything that doesn't fit neatly into one of their procedural boxes.
