So I was wondering when referring to "Did something bad happen (to you)?", is it correct for me to say "何が悪いことがあったんですか."?

The answer is negative. This is more a cultural question than a linguistc one.
We would just say 「何かあったんですか。」 when it's fairly obvious that something bad has happened.
「悪い事」 sounds too direct to us that we would avoid saying it at all cost.
