You fail at semantics. Sneak attacks would not kill him. Could, but nothing says they would. Saying they would = saying he would absolutely die if sneak-attacked, and even after being pierced body-through by a giant stinger from behind, he's pretty much alive, so that's obviously not the case.

That said, Sneak attacks and his Semblance have nothing to do with each other in practice. If a Sneak attack works, it's because he didn't see it coming and thus didn't have his Aura up to defend himself, and by extension, didn't have his Semblance up to block the pain.
