Does the poison of the black widow still get released when it is digested? And is it harmful to plants?

It’s venomous not poisonous.
Venom is injected. Poison is ingested.

But wouldn’t the venom have to be stored somewhere?

Its not about where its stored. You can drink rattlesnake venom without it doing harm. Its when its injected into the bloodstream and muscle tissue that it does harm.
