Usually used in the phrase, "It isn't even a blip on the radar." It may be out there, but it doesn't even show up on the long range detection devices.

In other words, the person is saying that you are worrying about something that is a long way away and may never come close to being an issue.

A blip is what you call the little beep as the radar detects something within its parameters. If something is just a blip on the radar, then it's not close enough to see or detect, but figuratively might be detected by a radar screen. It's far away or not anywhere close to happening.

What do you mean by transponder?

That rather depends in which context you mean ! When I first saw this question - the transponder I immediately thought of - is the kind that's built-in to an aircraft. An aircraft transponder is a small box of electronics, that transmits a constant stream of data - including the plane's identity, height, speed and radar heading. The control tower sees the data alongside a corresponding 'blip' on the radar screen.
