Strength of Oil Pan
I got an h23 swap thats almost complete, hopefuly. Since the oil pan sits lower than stock i was wonder if i would run into problems if i have my car too low. For instance hitting a bump and the oil pan hitting the road. How likely is the oil pan to get a hole in it? Is it something i should really worry about because my car is kind of low and i really like how it looks.

Yes, it's a very real concern with H-swaps in that chassis. Just stay well away from speed bumps and try your best to avoid big potholes. Most non-K-series oilpans are shitty, stamped-steel that tears pretty easilly when confronted with jagged asphalt or concrete.

Not likely to make a hole but a big huge dent, which sometimes is worse then a hole.
