Probably not, but I'd wash it off soon after it spilled, not just leave it there. More to the point, why are you using acid to try to remove tar from brick? Tar isn't going to come off with acid. I'd use mineral spirits or some gasoline on a rag. If it's old and hardened, scrape it off first.

Muriatic acid won't do a damned thing to tar.
When I was a kid we removed beach tar from out feet with acetone
