Two ideas:

1. The abbrev code was
(define-abbrev c-mode-abbrev-table "ifx" "" 'my-skeleton-c-if)

That abbrev is specific for c-mode.  Type M-h v mode-name
If the result is not "C" then I do not think you are in the correct
mode.

2. You have to type a non-word character following the abbrev to get
   the abbrev to expand. (Or use one of the interactive functions.) So
   ifx then space would expand the abbrev.  But just ifx would not...

You could see if the skeleton is working by simply typing:
M-x my-skeleton-c-if
