SSL certificate expiration does not mean that information hidden behind a login is now exposed.
And as long as you're using HTTPS and not HTTP, any website data sent or received is still encrypted in transit.
It's not much different from your car registration expiring. Your car still functions exactly the same; you're just making sure the government has up-to-date information.
