Screen opens a "login shell", which means it will only read
.bash_profile and not .bashrc. However, that is the same kind of shell
that you have when you open a Konsole/Terminal/rxvt/xterm window, or
when you log in to the console, or when you open a SSH session, so is
it that only your screen sessions don't source .bashrc while the
others all do?
To have the desired effect of reading .bashrc always, it's common (and
the default) that your .bash_profile contains the following lines:
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
Did you remove these?

No, this is not going to work, since .screenrc accepts screen
commands, not bash commands.

This should work. Try removing your .screenrc (or renaming to a backup
name) and seeing if it works after you do.
If it still does not work, post the contents of ~/.bash_profile,
~/.bashrc, ~/.screenrc and maybe also /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc and
/etc/screenrc, and then we may be able to help you some more.
