Background checks are generally to ascertain information other than immigration status, and so I do not believe that the fact that you do not have the EAD card in hand at this time will impact the check. Lack of a Social Security number may have an effect as it lessens the amount of available information about you. Of course, if the employer offers you the position, you will have to submit evidence of employment authorization (the actual card) and fill out the I-9 employment authorization verification form.
