Select[lst, MemberQ[DeleteCases[lst, #], Reverse[#]] &]

{{1, 3}, {1, 4}, {3, 1}, {4, 1}}

Cases[lst, _?(MemberQ[DeleteCases[lst, #], Reverse[#]] &)]

{{1, 3}, {1, 4}, {3, 1}, {4, 1}}

DeleteCases[lst, _?(FreeQ[DeleteCases[lst, #], Reverse[#]] &)]

{{1, 3}, {1, 4}, {3, 1}, {4, 1}}

Pick[lst, MemberQ[DeleteCases[lst, #], Reverse[#]] & /@ lst]

{{1, 3}, {1, 4}, {3, 1}, {4, 1}}
