Resetting the iPad will not have any effect on your iPhone. Don't try to manually delete photos from the iPad first as that would remove the photos from your iPhone if using iCloud Photos. Just follow the steps here to reset the iPad to Factory Settings and it will be erased without any changes on your iPhone and will then be ready for your sister to set it up as hers.
