I am dependent on my mom for support but according to new rules she cannot(and hasn't this year and last) claimed me as dependent. I don't file taxes because I don't earn enough(only minimal amount of unearned income). Am I likely to be audited because of this? My status hasn't changed in real life, but I can no longer be claimed as dependent(even though I am).

If your income is below the filing requirement amount you won't be audited for not filing. If you earned less than $3,300 you probalby CAN be claimed by your mother.

If you are not required to file, there is no tax return to audit.
If you live with your mother, she supports you, and you earn less than $3,300 of income, she can claim you. If she cannot claim you, even though she provides over half of your support, then it must be that you earn over $3,300 of unearned income, but less than $8,450.
There is nothing to worry about.

ninasgram and bostonian are correct - I don't know why someone would have given ninasgram a thumbs down on her answer.
