Howdy!  
I have Pilea Peperomioides that produces some tiny, sticky, clear droplets on the stem. Do you guys think it’s from pest infestation or is it normal and I don’t have to worry about it?  
Can’t see any bugs/insects, but maybe I’m just inattentive.

The stuff thats in the circle doesn't look like a pest unless it is a white cotton looking stuff which are mealy bugs. But from the photo it doesn't look like it. I believe its normal. I haven't had a peperomia for quite some time but it appears to be just fine.

Definitely not mealy bugs, that’s for sure. I was thinking maybe aphids or scales but can’t find any.. so I’m still oblivious

Definitely no scales visible. Your plant actually is a sap producer. Its sap is visible in the form of clear drops. Typically along the edges of leaves but it can present on stems too. My opinion is that you have a seemingly healthy plant.
