It won't go anywhere.

Citizenship has been a question from 1910-at least 1950. However, it was not used for redistricting.

I know in Texas, they list the number of registered voters in a district. (hint, hint..citizens) However, they don't use the # of registered to voters to draw district lines. Texas would have one less district if they only counted US citizens to draw districts.
