How do I change the home folder for an user used by process sshd?

I'm logged as root. Need to change home folder of another user but when I run usermod -d /path/to/new/home myuser it returns: usermod: user myuser is being used by process xxxx Said process is sshd. What do I do now? I'd rather not having to restart the server. Note: it's a remote server. Will killing sshd also log me out (I'm logged as root, not as myuser)?
