We are going to have our external surveillance audit soon and we have one control in the SOA that is still "in progress". What are the implications of this?

When going for the certification audit, you should have most of your controls implemented, and make sure that controls that mitigate the biggest risks are fully implemented, or the certification auditor can consider that the ISMS is not ready for certification yet.
In other words, you can leave only a smaller number of less significant controls to be implemented after the certification. In your case, you have to ask risk owners to accept the residual risks related to this control still "in progress".
