I also got an empty Plot in version 8, but I found two solutions.

First, the awkward one:

h = 1; a = 0.0001; kn = Pi/h; kr = 3.050;
ListPlot[pts =
   Table[{ki,
     Abs[((kn^2 - (kr + ki I)^2)*(4 h (Log[4 h/a] -
              NIntegrate[(1 - Exp[I (kr + ki I) y Cos[kn y]])/y, {y, 0,
                 2}]) +
           I/((kr + ki I) + kn) (Exp[I 2 ((kr + ki I) + kn) h] - 1) +
           I/((kr + ki I) - kn) (Exp[I 2 ((kr + ki I) - kn) h] -
              1)) - (kn^2 + (kr + ki I)^2)*
         NIntegrate[
          Exp[I (kr + ki I) y] Sin[kn y]/y, {y, 0,
           2}])]}, {ki, -0.23, -.10, .001}], Joined -> True]

Is that what the plot should look like?

If it is, you get a good approximation to the function with

f = Interpolation@pts;
Plot[f@ki, {ki, -.23, -.1}]

Finally, the simple solution:

h = 1; a = 0.0001 // Rationalize; kn = Pi/h; kr = 3.050 // Rationalize;
g[ki_?NumericQ] :=
  Abs[((kn^2 - (kr + ki I)^2)*(4 h (Log[4 h/a] -
           NIntegrate[(1 - Exp[I (kr + ki I) y Cos[kn y]])/y, {y, 0,
             2}]) + I/((kr + ki I) + kn) (Exp[
            I 2 ((kr + ki I) + kn) h] - 1) +
        I/((kr + ki I) - kn) (Exp[I 2 ((kr + ki I) - kn) h] -
           1)) - (kn^2 + (kr + ki I)^2)*
      NIntegrate[Exp[I (kr + ki I) y] Sin[kn y]/y, {y, 0, 2}])]
Plot[g@ki, {ki, -0.23, -.10}]
