let's graph the original function
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+y++%3D+%E2%88%92+sin+(3x+%2B+%CF%80%2F3+)+%E2%88%92+2
Notice that the curve does not cross or touch the x-axis, that is , it can never be zero.
Therefore the reciprocal can never be undefined and will be continuous.
I assume you know how to sketch a reciprocal curve for a given function.
Here is a graph of both functions, the reciprocal is in red
