Most torches I've owned have 9/16-18 threads for connection to the welding
hose (RH for oxygen, LH for fuel). I recently bought a used torch which
had little red plastic caps over the exposed 9/16" threads. I thought that
was a great idea, protecting the threads. Anyone know where I can buy
these little plastic caps designed to fit over torch threads?

They're called "CapPlugs" in one brand name. They're commonly available in
small quanitites from most plastics distributors who supply bulk plastic
bags, shrink wrap, etc.

They're available in nominal o.d. and nominal i.d. shapes to fit almost any
male or female fitting you can imagine -- all the way from 1/8" i.d. to 10"
