Bismihi ta'ala
There is no "sin" in rejecting a marriage proposal, and there is no "sin" in marrying a non-Sayyid.
You must marry someone who, along with having the fundamental qualities of being religious and good akhlaq, but also compatible with you as well, and whether he is a Sayyid or not is irrelevant.
And Allah knows best
