Recuced graphene oxide sheet carry net negative charge because of the numerous oxygen-containing groups still in their structure despite they were reduced by some reductant. Strictly speaking, graphene oxide is hard to restore completely. Some references titled "Solutions of Negatively Charged Graphene Sheets and Ribbons" and "Processable aqueous dispersions of graphene nanosheets"

You can use zeta potential analyzer to measure the surface potential of your sample (ex. disperse graphene oxide in solvent first) , and most of time it is the surface charge (+or-) of your sample
I agree with Mr. Szacilowski, the charge should be negative due to the residual oxygen content. If you have a theoretically 100% reduction, then the charge should be neutral.
