I'd say that is a bad idea. You'd probably have sewer gases backing up in your softener system. Pipe it to the curb? I wouldn't discharge it onto the driveway as sodium chloride will damage concrete over time. A drainage sump would need to very big as the system uses quite a lot of water during its cycling.

Yes it can be bad but there isn't a significant amount of sodium in the softened water to make a difference for someone - especially in the amount of water one would drink daily.
