How much is a visitor affected by Ramadan in Aceh (Indonesia) considering it has Sharia law?

During Ramadan, the most important change is the Islamic fasting. This prohibits eating and drinking between (approximately) sunrise and sunset.

However, some muslims are allowed to eat. This includes children, the sick, the old, and pregnant women.

I have no special experience with Indonesia, but typically (even with Sharia in place), you will be able to buy food (i.e. supermarkets) during the whole day, as usual. Many restaurants however will not be open during day time, though. Most likely hotels with many western customers will still serve food.

Also, it is often considered impolite to eat and drink openly in front of those who are fasting.
