In general, the security updates do not usually require any changes, if at all, in the termplates used, unless there were other features that were also updated or bugs that were fixed that could impact on the template or other extensions used in a Joomla site.
It is critical therefore to have an understanding of the nature of the updates to have a sense on the impact on the template extensions used.
