I'm new to this. so please be patient. I root my incredible with unrevoked3 last night. everything went OK I have my super user and all. My question is I did not have a SD card in the phone at the time of the root. Is this going to do anything or SD card is not require at root time. Also if i want to load roms now like CM7 how do i do it and where do i find god rooms that will not brick my phone? Also how do I return the phone back to stock if i need to?

You do not need a sd card when you root your phone with unrevoked.
To finds roms go to The Incredible List or download ROM MANAGER for the market. Some ROMS already include ROM MANAGER in there roms. I highly recommend downloading ROM MANAGER, a really good app.
Before flashing anything, always do a Nandroid Backup
There are threads here that tell you how to return to stock, for instance, http://androidforums.com/incredible...ideo-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html

without an sd card,youll have to flash roms from internal memory,wich means youll have to use RA_GNM to flash them- i dont believe clockwork has the same option.
to get RA_GNM,simply flash the alternate recovery in rom manager.
when you make a backup,i assume it will make a nandroid folder in internal memory to keep them. this could quickly lead to a space issue,as roms and backups are 70+ mb
also,some roms(mainly Z based roms) do not realize that the info is present ininternal memory so some things may not be accessible(ringtones and alert notifications come to mind)
the moral of the story is get an sd card as soon as possible. and get one as big as possible. 2 gb is not near enuff if youre a flashoholic like me
2gb only lets you hold 2 roms and 3 or so backups at a time- major PITA to keep shuffling them around between the phone and computer.
as far as flashing,id recomend to download to your PC,transfer them to your phone via usb cable,and then boot into recovery and use the menus there to make backups,wipe data,then flash the rom. IMO its much safer that way than it is to try and use rom manager for flashing and downloads.
