I have upgraded from VB 3.x to 4.x on Mac OS-X, CentOS 5.6, and Scientific Linux 6 hosts, with Windows XP, Windows 7, CentOS-5, and SL-6 guests without any loss of capability. New VMs are created with the new file structure, but old ones will still work. Because I prefer the new structure I have exported old VMs FROM 3.x and re-imported then into VB 4. I encountered no USB issues except that in at least one instance I had to re-add users to the vboxusers group. I would strongly recommend updating that old, buggy, and insecure SL version in any case.
