Pretty much exactly what happens for any other attack roll made against the swashbuckler - the swash rolls the parry, if it exceeds the CMB check the attempt is deflected, if not then you compare it against the swash's CMD (allowing for the +4 bonus they probably have from swashbuckler finesse), and if it succeeds, then the weapon is sundered.
Why is this in question?
because thematicly it makes less than zero sense to stop the ogre with a club from snaping your rapier by swatting the rapier with your club
I don't think I would allow a swashbuckler to parry a disarm or sunder attempt. It seems to me that the ability to avoid the enemy hitting your weapon is a wholly different one from the ability to put your weapn between yourself and the enemy attack.
If we take the actual rules into account, my concept seems solified. CM cheks aren't attacks per se, although they don't target your weapon, even in the case of sunder and disarm they still target you.

When you attempt to perform a combat maneuver, make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver. The DC of this maneuver is your target's Combat Maneuver Defense. Combat maneuvers are attack rolls, so you must roll for concealment and take any other penalties that would normally apply to an attack roll.
I stand corrected. Thank you for clearing that up before I inflicted myself on my players.
Parry on :)
