Could these laws force organic farmers and other small diverse agricultural businesses out of the market, similar to how historical regs had a negative impact on family farms.

Unlikely. Organic farming is growing. It can never be the world's main source of food again (unless we have a massive decrease in population), but its a very healthy niche market.

Also even if non-organic GMO farming could and did push organic farming out, it would be the economic competitiveness of the GMO farming techniques, not the laws. The laws don't say "you can't farm organically", they just allow GMO techniques to compete.
