Are all chemistry undergrad degrees the same? I have heard quite a few people online say that having only a chemistry undergrad degree will get you virtually nowhere in the chemistry world. So then if I was looking at two different colleges and didn't prefer either one, should I just choose the cheaper one and then save to get a Masters? Or do certain schools carry more "weight" with them?

would I face any difficulties getting a masters degree with a degree from a lesser known college?

nope. none at all. your gpa, GRE, letter of recommendation, resume, etc should do your talking for you.
