The table I would be exporting has a lot of NULL values in it.  Is
there any way to skip the NULL values in the row_to_json function and
include only the fields that are non-null?

I guess it depends on your data.

Are the NULLs all in one field or scattered across fields?

Imagining this scenario:

fld_1     fld_2    fld_3
'val1_1'  NULL     'val1_3
NULL      'val2_2' 'val2_3'
'val3_3'  'val3_2'  NULL

How do you deal with the holes(NULL) on the receiving end?
