Native node modules are in general not well suited for webpack.

You should be able to exclude it from bundling by using externals, for example:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  externals: {
    '@journeyapps/sqlcipher': 'commonjs2 @journeyapps/sqlcipher',
  }
};

(not tested, and will depend on your specific setup)
