If a judgment is filed against you in another state [small claims] is a warrant issued to appear in the court for not responding to served a subpeona

No, Small Claims Court does not issue warrants. Instead, the Plaintiff will get a Judgment against you for a monetary amount and then collect that judgment under the laws of your State.

Normally, if a small claims lawsuit is filed against you, a summons (not a subpoena; that is for witnesses) would be issued and served on you.

It's not a judgment unless you fail to contest it; or if you do contest it the judge finds that you are liable anyway.

If you fail to respond, you will not be arrested (as with a warrant), but the remedy is a default judgment. Warrants are for criminal cases. A small claims matter is not crminal. It is civil.

If it is in another state, the applicable rules might or might not allow you to be sued. But in any event, there are specific rules on how service of the summons must be accompished.

Agree with the above, There is no criminal issue, and no warrant, you merely lose your civil case and they win any and everything they were asking for.
