Rusted Relic and Silumgar's Command

Saw this question on the Ask a Judge IRC.

Alison casts Silumgar's Command choosing the second and third modes and targeting an artifact for the bounce and Rusted Relic for the creature.

The bounced artifact drops the number of artifacts controlled by Alison's opponent to below 3 and Rusted Relic is no longer a creature.

Is the -3/-3 effect placed on the noncreature Relic, but it just has no effect while Relic isn't a creature, similar to a +1/+1 counter sitting on Llanowar Reborn?

Yes, the Relic would get -3/-3 from the Command, although that won't have too much of an effect on the Relic unless it becomes a creature again later that turn.
