I have been in and out of court with my sons grandmother. There was a court order that allowed her visitations with my son that I did not consent to. I was not present at court due to not knowing about it. If I do not let my sons grandmother see him this Sunday I will be in violation. What are the penalties of violating a court order like this?

Depending on where you live you could face jail time as well as possibly face losing custody.

Yes, if you don't, they file a motion to hold you in contempt, the court can fine you, or place you in jail till you comply with the order.

If your state allows grandparents rights ( and it is obvoius they do) they will get some visits, unless you can prove they are a danger to the child, and even then they will get a supervised visit.

I guess why don't you want them to visit

And also why wasn't the OP notified?

You would be in contempt and face the same penalties as anyone else in contempt of court. So you might get a warning the first time but after that more severe even jail time and it is possible to loose cutody (as mentioned above) I would you suggest you follow the court order.
