You could use the hook org-after-todo-state-change-hook. E.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-pending-remove-deadline ()
  (when (equal (org-entry-get nil "TODO") "PENDING")
    (org-remove-timestamp-with-keyword org-deadline-string)))

(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook 'my-org-pending-remove-deadline)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
