Crystalline Silica is a component of almost all paints and also is a component of the Earth (soil, sand, rock, etc). Over exposure can occur but only through excessive sanding, like cutting and/or grinding a granite counter top. I don't think this is a problem for most homeowners.
Sanding anything produces dust that could cause some problems. If you have respiratory ailments/problems you should avoid sanding or wear a good dust mask.
Bennette Paint Mfg., Hampton, Va. does not use crystalline silica in any of it's paints. They discontinued the silica in the 1980's and haven't used since. They can be reached at 800-869-2929.
