MSc programs are more concerned with overall GPA and GMAT/GRE scores and Bs would not raise significant red flags. I would only worry if all math scores/grades were low.

You seem like an active, high-performing candidate with an excellent chance of admission to pre-experience programs like LBS's MiM.
