I am going to be filming a short in January, and for most of the shots I will be using a tripod or shoulder rig with a matte box and a filter. There are a couple glidecam shots though for which I obviously can't use the matte box. Will this be a problem if those shots have no filter? Any suggestions on what else I could do to fix this? Thanks!

There might be a problem if you don't use the filter on some shots
in the same scene in which you are using the filter. It depends on
the filter you are using and why you are using it.
I don't understand why you say it's obvious that you can't use use
the mattebox when you use the Glidecam rig.
So I think you'll need to offer a little more info. Are you using this
filter throughout the entire film? What camera/mattebox are you
using that cannot be attached to the Glidecam?

Yes I am planning to use the black magic filter on the entire thing, but I don't think the glidecam can support the weight of the camera and matte box.
What's your rig, which Glidecam and do you have a vest? With a vest, there's really no weight limit, and you can always MacGyver ways to add more counterweight if you need to.
