No. You cannot do this kind of conditional coding with LaTeX2HTML,
for something as fundamental to the document structure as \section.

\latexhtml is really only useful for alternate text.
Anything structural needs to be handle at a different stage of the
processing to when  \latexhtml  gets processed.


The following is OK --- well, sort of:

%begin{latexonly}
 \section{Introduction}
%end{latexonly}
\begin{htmlonly}
 \section*{Welcome!!}
\end{htmlonly}

 ...but you may still have problems with section-numbering
if you do this.

I'm surprised that there wasn't an error before this.

Interesting; indeed surprising that it ever worked.
This is worth investigating further.
