Widget dropdown name disappeared and doesn't work in 3.8

This isn’t a big problem with WordPress 3.7, but with the admin interface changes in 3.8, existing sidebars may become uneditable. If this happens to you, you can try deleting the plugin options from the database – _ss-settings in wp_options). This did not work for me, plus you’ll have to go through and do it for every site if your on multisite and recreate all of your sidebars. With my installation, that would take weeks.
SO, what I did as a temporary fix was change line 98 of plugin.php to name => $id. Not ideal, but after testing it out new and existing sidebars work great.
If it weren’t for having so many sidebars across so many sites, I would have switched to a different plugin, but should you be entrenched in Genesis and Simple Sidebars, this may save you the frustration.
