will the rubber band melt and stick to the plate?

If you put natural rubber band in the microwave, it will definitely melt, as it actually contains organic materials, the raw ingredient of rubber band comes from "rubber tree".

In my opinion, the best answer was provided by the user named 'Swamy' , who was correct to suggest that the rubber band will remain unaffected if it it kept dry.
I tried this on one of my old Tupperware bowls it was missing a lid. I secured a paper towel over it with a rubber band, and steamed my vegetables perfectly.
In approximately 4.5 minutes, there was no melting or funny smell from the rubber band.

If you poop on your finger then put a little bit on the rubber band then the microwaves will become angered by the poopy smell, but they will also be intimidated, so they will yell at the rubber band like "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, YAAAAAAAAHHHHH" until the rubberband starts pooping blood

Why are you putting rubber bands in the microwave?
It might be ok for a few seconds.

If it is really dry (no moisture or water on it) I think it will remain unaffected. Rubber is a good insulator. Try putting a dry microwave safe bowl in the oven and see if it gets heated up.

depends on the kind of rubber band some can keep its shape but stick others can get really soft but not melt so it depends

Only one way to find out... but I'd recommend a paper plate.
