My sister-in-law has a separation deed with her husband stating that she has to give him access to their son once a week. If she was to break this deed (i.e. refuse access) what could happen to her. Ultimately I guess he could take her to court and they could order her to give access - if she breaks a court order, what could happen?

you are right!!
if shes signed and agreed to it then he can take her to court and get proper access that she wont be able to do anything about.
if she has a good reason to stop him from seeing the kid, such as hes drinking, abusive etc then she can take him to court and get supervised vision at all times until he can be trusted

She could be held in contempt of court and subject to fines - possibly even jail time (but I don't know if courts usually go this far in custody issues). Probably the most important thing is any non-compliance with court orders - specifically with regard to custody and/or visitation - could make it easier for her husband/ex to have custody or visitation orders changed in his favor. And if she deliberately frustrates his rights to see his kids, it could also lead to reduction in child support.
However, the most important issue is she is hurting her son. Regardless of what the relationship between her and her husband/ex is like, trying to prevent the child from seeing his dad will wind up hurting the child the most.

The husband or partners solicitor would be informed and if she has good grounds for not abiding by the access then she could go to court. Lets hope she has good grounds for restraining or breaking access

If she breaks the contract, she will (and should) face court sanctions. Depending on the seriousness of breach, in most cases it will not be pleasant.
That she is even thinking of it, shows her true colors. Assume the worst. If she will flee the jurisdiction with the child, assume she will be charged with kidnapping and jailed (as she should be).
