There would not appear to be any risk or legal consequences to you under the arrangement that you have described of an H-1B petitioner having mentioned the locations of service in the H-1B petition. As long as the second location was also disclosed in the labor condition application (LCA), the employer is allowed to send you to the second location.

As long as the second location was listed on the LCA you may work there lawfully.
