No, Your H1 will not be invalid.

You have to sign form I-9 with your employer to use the EAD (if you want). When you signt the I-9 form then you H1 gets invalid.
Before you sign the I-9 you can travel with your H1 and comeback with no problem even having the EAD card.
At the moment you start using the EAD card you need the AP to travel.
