Relax, don't worry, have a home brew.

I did that once and the end result was beer that tasted like burnt grain. If the wort tasted OK, you should be fine, but if it tastes burnt you probably have a dumper.

What material was your grain bag? We're you using a muslin bag or a paint strainer? I'd be a bit more concerned that your temps during steeping were enough to burn your bag

If he is using an electric burner, all it takes is the grain bag touching the bottom of the pot while the element is still hot to scorch a bag. That's what happened to me and it was my practical lesson in removing the brewpot from the burner before adding anything to the pot.

It was a muslin bag I'm sure... Got it from hbs...I put the bag in as I was filling the kettle so it wasn't floating and I didn't expect to get so hot so fast using a new propane burner..
