I clogged the restroom at work and had to use my hands to unclog it. can any diseases be spread through little cuts on my hand and germs from others?

Probably not much: if you washed your hands well. Use plunger in the future

Exposure: If you washed your hands right away afterward you should be fine. You would be at greater risk if it was a deep cut and longer exposure and toilet wasn't flushed before you..
