This depends partially on whether it is a party to the action that missed the deposition or not. Most likely remedy for a first time, non-blatant absence is that you will have to pay the fees associated with the deposition. If you repeatedly fail to show or blatantly disregard the authority of the court, you could be jailed for contempt, you could be fined and if you are a party you could have monetary or discovery sanctions issued against you, or you could have your case summarily decided against you.

You could be held in contempt and fined, or worse. If it hasn't happened yet and you can't appear, contact the attorney who noticed the deposition and try to reschedule.
