I am H1B visa holder, and is pregnant now. I wonder if i can apply CA SDI during my maternity leave? Additionally, i also plan to take up to 12 weeks unpaid maternity leave. Should i file amendment for my H1B?

Not a good idea unless you are a US citizen. Talk to your EMPLOYER'S immigration lawyer about this. Under the LCA rules the employer has got to offer you the exact same benefits they offer US workers.
