Take a couple examples from the CSS Zen Garden http://csszengarden.com/

Both of these have the exact same html, and thus, the exact same SEO.

White Lilly
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=036/036.css

Wiggles the Wonderworm
http://csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/099/099.css

White Lilly is clean and easy to use.
Wiggles the Wonderworm, while interesting, is harder to use.
