It sounds more like cross site scripting to me than SQL injection. In SQL injection you try to coax a database engine into performing a previously unintended action by carefully crafting content that is part of a query.

If this attack works by storing the data in the original (intended) field and just happens to bypass the JavaScript filters then it's XSS and not injection.
