How much does your junior year GPA matter if you already have an SA offer?

As title mentions - I already have an SA offer for the 2021 summer at an EB and currently have a 3.9+ GPA. The issue is, however, that I am taking some tough classes this semester + it's all online, which is making it really hard for me to focus on academics so far this semester. Additionally, I also think a big motivator behind keeping my GPA high was getting the IB internship and now that I have it, I don't have that same incentive anymore. 

Just curious to know, how much slacking off is ok this semester/until my SA? If my GPA drops substantially, could it impact return offer?

Thanks.
