Can doctrines that are not revealed (im talking about new ones) be rejected due to papal infallibility?

I do understand the church when it comes to revealed dogmas and doctrines can’t fall into error because of papal infallibility.
 
It is a bit unclear as to what you mean.

If you mean by “not revealed” (new ones) incorrect ones, the Church in her wisdom has rejected many such doctrines - hence why the Councils have anathematized heresies.

If you mean by “not revealed” (new ones) chronologically not yet revealed but true the nonetheless, that is more problematic. Firstly, all necessary revelations of the faith have been revealed. But hypothetically speaking, if there was a doctrine the Church decided was necessary to reject then she, in theory, would not formally reject a true doctrine if she is the true Church.

There are no unrevealed doctrines.

There are no new dogmas. Do you mean another word like teachings or disciplines? Infallibility does not apply to those though.

It is my understanding that a lot of people in the RC church believe that a dogma of Mary as Co-Redemptrix should be proclaimed.

Well, technically, that’s not “un-revealed.” It’s a teaching, or rather, an understanding or belief, that the Fathers and the Organism of the Church have logically deduced from Scripture and Tradition based on certain beliefs of Mary and her relationship with Christ as the Theotokos.
