On my home page I have a tabbed section that loads the content via JavaScript. I have 5 tabs that can be clicked. For example, there's an "about us" tab that has a couple of paragraphs in it and a read more button at the bottom. The problem is, when you click on the "read more" button, you're taken to the aboutus.html page which contains those same two paragraphs that are on the home page. What's a good way to go about handling this? Or do I not even need to worry about it since it's only a couple of paragraphs?

IMHO you have nothing to worry about. You are simply showing an excerpt of the longer page with a direct link to the full content. The search engines will figure that out ok.
In this example the "About" content is going to be only one small part of the overall homepage content. The important thing is to make sure that is is not mistaken as the most important part of the homepage content by utilising H1s, H2s etc to structure the page.
