Taking purely theoretical approach- more mass means more inertia - surely sand will help to make pier more stable. It should also help dampening vibrations, since sand will absorb kinetic energy from vibrating pier more effectively than just air (it takes more energy to move sand than compress air). I would dare to take it even further and propose that sand filled pier will perform better than the one filled with concrete.
