KEH, Corn that small probably still has the "growing point" under the soil so it most likely is not dead.
Give it a week and I"m sure you will see regrowth. Might be a little behind schedule for a while, but so would any replant.
If you are still worried, gently pull up a couple plants, lay them on a flat surface, with a small sharp knife cut along the center of the stalk lengthwise and lay the two sides open. You should then see a very tiny "white arrow" at the tip of the white plant material. That is the growing point. If that is white and healthy, your plants will regrow. If browning, you need to replant.
As the plant gets taller the growing point will move above the soil line and then if it freezes the plant will die.
Corn is a tough bugger...we get lots of frosted corn in Wisconsin and most of it comes up nicely and grows just fine.
