You can transfer the H1B petition within 6 years form its initial effective date. The employer cannot revoke the visa that is stamped in your passport. They can only withdraw the H1B petition that they filed in your behalf. Withdrawing the petition means, that you cannot travel to U.S to work for that specific employer. It won't have any impact on your future H1B transfer. You should have a copy of your H1B approval notice to initiate the transfer.
