Well riot solved your question by using the line: "to nearby allied champions". You can be sure that any positive aura is limited to allied champions, where as negative effects to enemies like frozen heart do effect enemy spider lings.

This only applies to items, with champion spells it will note "to nearby allies" like Jarvan's standard and Sivir's ultimate, these do affect minions, so I'd say spiderlings as well.
