I've been out of FW for a bit and I was wondering what is the new meta to run L4 FW missions?...I heard SB's can't be used anymore

SBs still work if you are careful just make sure you don't get webbed by the webbing frigate spawns, I found groups of 10mn hyperspatial rigged Algos to work reasonably well and 3 of then will basically shred any frigate that comes in thinking it is going to get a free bomber kill, doesn't get around camps as easy as bombers do though.

sure but how about running solo. I don't run multiple accounts. Do i need to upgrade to a 100mn VNI or something? how avoidable are those web frigs with a SB.....can you simply paint them and kill them?

You can kill them, but it can greatly increase the time it takes to complete missions, if you are totally solo, no intel channels, no scouts, etc I would go with a shield 100mn stratios, since it can get around camps and whatnot, but there will be increased mission completion time from people trying to come and gank you since it costs more than many ships. Just open the missions up first in a ceptor or something, so it isn't obvious when you enter local what you are going on with.
