You would have to ensure the required plugin was already active on the new
site. Network enabled or mu-plugins should ensure that.

One other thing to be aware of is that some actions you may call when
switched to another blog might increase the memory requirements hugely.

I recently had a problem where switching to another site and calling a
standard WordPress function get_option(). Unfortunately, WordPress
pre-loads almost all options when you first call it. This additional memory
allocation was too much for my set up. I needed to make a database call in
the end to grab that one option.
