Although the terms "ill" and "sick" can both refer to someone being unwell or having a disease in other contexts, that's not the meaning here. "To bode ill" is an idiom which refers to something suggesting bad outcomes in the future.
The idiom "it bodes ill" expresses that something is a bad idea or a bad omen. Polly is warning Horatio that it would leave a bad impression, and may even be bad luck, if Miss Stake were to discover Horatio's poisons and herbal extracts on the same shelf as the ingredients of his perfumes.
We can infer that Miss Stake "wouldn't be proud" to see the bottles organized like this, however, this is not the most accurate definition for the expression "to bode ill". A "proud" person is confident or self-satisfied.
The expression "to bode ill" does not indicate that Horatio would be punished if Miss Stake discovered his poorly organized bottles.
