It depends upon how the electric meter is made. If it is magnetically shield with some ferromagnetic material, than it will bypass all the magnetic lines of force through it. In this case there will be no effect of the magnet on the electric meter. But if the meter is not properly magnetically shield then the magnet will interfere the magnetic field of the meter's internal magnet. In this case the electric meter will not work properly.
