It is important because injecting at the same site can lead to scare tissue, knots or bumps, inflammation, and infection. Rule of thumb is to never inject the same site twice in once week. The ideal number of sites to have is at least four hitting the injection site at least once a month.
If you do come accross a bump or knot that feels hard but does not feel hot to the touch, has redness, or if you do not have fever - You most likely do not have an infection.
You should treat it with a hot pack 15 min on and 15 min off, rub the area throughout the day, and you can also try putting ice if the hot pack does not seem affective.
If it does not get better after 4 days... Be prepared to see your doctor ASAP as it may be a cyst or you just need an antibiotic to contract with whats going on.

Where are the safe injection sites on the body?
The proper places for injection depend on what you are tying to inject. Some things need to injected into fat, others into muscle, others into the skin, and others into the circulation. Some common injection sites for intramuscular injections are the deltoid muscle (upper arm) or the quadriceps (thigh). Some common injection sites for adipose (fat) injections are the buttocks or into the belly. But in anyone who is going to self-administer injections, it is important that they are first trained by either a doctor or nurse to do it properly and to learn the anatomy of the particular place they are going to inject into because it is easy to accidentally hit a nerve or blood vessel unintentionally which could be dangerous.

Why does the body get sore in injection sites from using heroin?
This is most likely due to a missed shot, where the user fails to register a vein & injects into muscle. One should apply a hot wash cloth with slight pressure to the sore area & it should improve in a matter of a few days. If that isn't the case, and your veins are bruised, rotate injection sites to minimize damage. Bottom line is that an addict will occasionally miss a shot, and sticking needles into oneself is bound to cause a little soreness isn't it?
