The visa was granted for 5 years but could not travel to USA. Will it be a problem while applying for renewal?

 Depends on what your intended date of entry is. If you intend to enter before the existing visa expires, you need not as a visa is just for entry to the U.S. If you intend to enter after the visa expires, you of course need one before you enter. The thing is a visa should be valid at the time of entry to the U.S.
 
 I am not sure what you mean by renewal. It's a new visa application.Check out H1 FAQs first!
