From 32y experience- turbine and centrifugal pumps draw LESS current when flow is restricted. That will not cause overload. However, efficiency goes down.
Many 1 1/4 inch sump pumps come with adaptors for garden hose.
The same is NOT TRUE of positive displacement pumps (piston or diaphragm) types. in those, restricting output INCREASES load, and can burn out the motor.

Terry used the correct word "restriction"....A sump pump is not designed
to produce any pressure.....It is a simple transfer pump.....Any reduction
of the outlet size will "restrict" the flow rate and overwork the pump motor
to some extent.....
