There are those who say it is a matter of good taste not to
put math and textscripts in section titles.

That aside, speaking without checking things out, I would
hope that pdf bookmarks are taken from the (toc) option of
\section[]{} and, therefore, one need only provide a toc
version of the title that is free of math and textscripts.
