How was Sakura able to survive a TSB?

TSOs don't have chain reactions.
You're saying it as if it'd destroy the whole body if it skims a person, which is in fact wrong.

It erases/destroys what is touched. The part of the body that was touched by the TSO was constantly regenerating.
 
We've also seen that TSB's can be made into platforms for people to stand on top of safely. It is possible that Madara just didn't apply the distintegration effect to it and only stabbed her with the TSB rod.
 
Let's say for a second that TSOs just disintegrate whatever they touch, instead of erasing them. It wouldn't make a difference.
The method with which the TSO deals damage is irrelevant, it is isolated to the area it touched. We've seen this many times, such as with Edo Hashirama and Tobirama, Edo Hiruzen and his Shuriken, Edo Minato, and of course Sakura herself. There's a few more examples, but the point is that the damage does not spread beyond the initial point of contact, ever.
EE doesn't inherently negate all forms of regeneration, and it certainly wouldn't negate the type of regen that Sakura and Tsunade use, which relies on recreating cells from pre-existing ones through constant cellular division. Seeing as how she still had a bunch of cells left, since the wound's surface area was very small, she was able to easily regenerate from it. This makes sense, since Madara himself attributed her survival to her regenerative abilities that are identical to Tsunade's.
That's really all there is to it. There's no weird explanation or inconsistency. It's simply how their two abilities happened to interact. Hope that helped.
