USCIS guidelines specifically indicate that USC should include photocopy of BOTH sides of birth certificate with form I-130 package. My birth certificate is blank on the the back side. Is this a problem? Should I include a photocopy of the blank side?

You could include a blank page with an handwritten annotation saying "page 2". I don't believe it's necessary but it's just to be on the safe side in case they wonder what happened to the other side.

I did not send a copy of the back of my birth certificate since it was mostly blank other than a couple of generic cautionary notices.

They can always ask to see an original certified copy at your interview if they believe there is information on the back that they desperately need to see. Maybe it was written with one of those invisible pens.
