It doesn't. Your body gets the oxygen it needs by bypassing the obstruction. Your mouth is likely open awake & asleep or the blockage is not enough to trip the safety mechanisms your brain uses to protect itself. It is a non-issue.

A deviated nasal septum does not cause cerebral hypoxia, but can be uncomfortable, a source for infections, but readily repaired by a minor surgical procedure. Don't worry about oxygen, but get this fixed.
