Disk brake rotors will warp when the overheat. Riding the brakes, a lot of downhill or other heavy, continuous braking can result in an overheated rotor which can cause brake pulsing. Some call it 'brake chatter'.

Often the rotors can be "turned" to make them even again, but if the rotors have worn down already or if the manufacturers specs have been exceeded, turning won't be an option and you'll need to buy new rotors. You can't inspect them to determine if they're warped, but if the vehicle has brake chatter, the rotors are warped.
