Like most others, I also would bond the metal table to the welders ground return with sufficient sized cable. Provided they are all wired correct, I dont see any problems with the receptacles being mounted to the table, if they are in metallic boxes then the boxes are bonded to the 110 services safety equipment ground and so would the table assuming the metal boxes attach direct to the steel metal table. If that welder is an AC transformer buzz box its isolated from the utility ground and the voltage and resultant current from the welding electrode to its other conductor (table and welding ground clamp) is between those two points ONLY and NOT to the utility ground buss.

I say bond the welders ground clamp system to the table and use 120 volt receptacles with their own green safety equipment ground and youre off to the races.
