HEY - I just thought to check on Google & they say other things also, but this seems to be the main source of the saying:
" 'My bad' came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie Clueless. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media. The 1994 'Green revision pages' for the movie script has a scene with Alicia Silverstone's character learning to drive:
"Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad." "
