When applying for a USA B1/B2 visa do I need to declare previous L1 or H1 rejections in older/ expired passports?

Refusals don’t expire, least of all in any way that has anything to do with passports. Refusals are on you the person. If you were a dual citizen and carried two nations’ passports, you’d have to disclose refusals that happened there, too.

However, old refusals, especially over routine stuff like lack of adequate paperwork or youth/lack of ties to the community, hold less weight simply due to their age, and no weight at all if the underlying conditions no longer apply.

Whereas, new deception is right now.

Yes, you should mention them. Not mentioning them may have a negative impact on your credibility should they find out. L1 and H1 refusals 10+ years ago should not have any impact on a B1/B2 application.
