If I get a patent for an innovative web-based AR/social media integration technology and my company is located in the US, how far does the protection by the US patent really go? For example, if someone in another is cloning the tech for their own web services, could I do something based on the US patent? Or does it mean that any technology accessible online has to be covered by hundreds of patents?

As far as I know, only in the U.S. you could obtain a patent for a Software. In the rest of the world, a Software is protected by Copyrights as a work of art.
Bearing this in mind, patent protection is only available for infringements in the country where the patent was granted.
Answering your question, you could not claim patent infringement in other parts of the world but you could claim copyright infringement where the violation of your rights is performed. Copyrights exists when you create the Software and materialized it in a support without the need to obtain a registration certificate.
