THe head gasket should not effect the timing chain. The coolant filling into the cylinders may have a similar effect. If the engine is an overhead cam engine there is no reason to replace the head gasket without replacing the timing chain though. Except for cost or if the timing set has recently been replaced. If the vehicle has dex-cool which is the coolant that is RED IN COLOR THE ENGINE MAY BE RUINED due to corosion caused by the RED coolant. If the coolant is green don't worry too much.

Does the timing chain have to be removed when changing head gasket?
Although I am not a certified mechanic....hell or even a mechanic , I would say no unless the timing chain is in the way of the gasket replacement, you should be able to on most motors replace header gaskets without the removal of the timing chain. ( timing chains are usually involved with the cam/rod repair and or replacement and such)
