I need to loan $1,000 to a relative (for a plumbing repair on their home). My concern is that when I'm paid back it might count as taxable 'income' as part of my 'gross income'. Should I or should I not charge some sort of nominal interest rate, such as 1% per year?

A loan repaid is not considered income, so no worries there. However, if you do charge interest, the interest is considered income to you.
The loan amount is below the threshold (code section 7872) for charging interest on a related party loan. Thus whether you want to charge interest is up to you.
