I had two felonies on my record for 2017.

Burglary of an unoccupied structure (unarmed) and Damage of property ($1,000 or more).

I pleaded guilty to both.

Both were actually DISMISSED through the diversion program, where if completed, charges are DROPPED and not put on your record. Although I can still see my charges.

I am a permanent resident in the US, and a Honduran citizen. Would these charges affect me coming back into the country, even if they were dismissed?

The immigration consequences here depend on a bunch of very specific details, including the exact elements of the criminal charges involved and the nature of the diversion program (you said you "pleaded guilty," which may or may not amount to a criminal conviction for immigration purposes depending on exactly how the diversion program was set up).

As Michael Hampton notes in comments, you need to speak to a immigration lawyer to answer these questions. Your permanent residency is too important to rely on advice from internet non-layers.
