That is easy. Before the application is started just physically unplug
the problematic reader.
But maybe that is not the kind of answer you expect.

If your question is: does PC/SC provides a way to logically disable a
reader then the answer is no.

You do not say if you use USB readers.
You do not say what operating system you are using.
