Yes, garter snakes can bite, but nothing of any great consequence. One bite did draw blood on a finger when a snake fastened itself tightly to me by its jaws. It was quite large for a garter snake though, so I don't think you were in any danger of being bitten if the snake was small.... some of the little grass snakes that I catch up here are so small that I doubt they could really get enough of a grip to bite.
