Basically you get banned for xraying, whether using an offline map or not, but you won't get banned just for making an offline map.
You guys should make the map an official picture for the website or something. Front page material

So cool to see spawn bases I've built and others I've been a part of, like Castle Black, from this angle. Great job ae0!

How can you tell if someone is xraying in a singleplayer map?

The same way we check if they're using it online.

the only way you can xray without detection is if you make your mining to the xray-ed object seem legitimate and based on random chance instead of knowing before-hand where it is

Tell-tale ways to tell if someone is using x-ray is to look for mining patterns that suggest they know where the object is beforehand, such as highly accurate tunnels or branches going off only into groupings of diamond ore, instead of a methodical and structured approach to mining that would suggest they were just mining to uncover the most surface area. Your average minecraft hacker barely has the mental capacity to download hacks, let alone use them in a stealthly and low-profile manner.
