Bleach is ~5% NaClO in a strong solution of NaOH!
Your paper (whatever it was?) was probably attacked by the caustic mixture . . .

No the paper won't be oxidized, unless you dry the filters (for filtering off the solids like anode partcles) and rub it which may detonate.
I used brown coffee filters which were bleached by the ClO-.
