as long as the seed has not started to germinate and isn't going to make lumps in the yard. The best solution would be to roto-till the ground and prepare the soil with a compost. It is also a good idea to sprinkle a starter fertilizer before you lay the sod this will give the roots a great start and create a well established lawn. Don't forget to roll the lawn this will help minimize the lumps in the yard.

How long ago was it seeded? If the soil is crusted over or even compact, then some soil prep will be necessary. Hopefully a good raking will loosen the earth enough to allow the roots to have the oxygen they need from the soil and allow water penetration. I'm assuming you already have a starter fertilizer down? Then go ahead and sod to your heart's delight.

I would rake the soil a bit first, then lay the sod so the roots can get established. :):):)
