Answer:
If the pickles are salty the chlorine ions from the salt (sodium chloride) will start to etch the stainless steel causing it to pit. It is not a good idea to let anything with chlorine near stainless steel. Chlorine bleach will eat stainless steel. Muriatic acid is called hydrochloric acid and has a HCl formula. It eats stainless steel very nicely. Salty water put on the stove to boil will pit a stainless pot too.
So no stainless steel with salt pickles.
