easy - just turn the amp down and stand still :p
nah kidding, i was a rhythm guitarist for a long while, all you really need is a sense of rhythm and a good understanding of chords, work on new strumming patterns as much as you can too.

For an understanding of rhythm.. for me.. I listen to the beat.
So maybe a metronome? If you are playing by yourself that is.

Also, it helps if you listen to a lot of rhythmic music.
For example, hip-hop helps A LOT.. at least it did for me.

What everyone else said.
And the best rhythm guitarists also play lead.

your question shouldn't be "how can I be a better rhythm guitar player", it should be
"how can i be a better guitar player" on the other hand, learn to play chords and switch between them with ease. you wouldn't want to screw up your buddies solo by making a horrible sound instead of a g chord etc |

work on the chords (basic chords if you're not in a jazz or a prog band)
work on your picking hand, gget a good technique so you can be fast and clean practice with a metronome so your sense of rythm get better |

You just really need to have chord progessions down. First learn open chords than move onto bar chords. I am working on bar chords and they are hard but with practice every day you see a see a slight difference every day. So just PRACTICE. It also helps to play songs you know on guitar with a friend who can sing. This will give a good sense of feeling the vibes and staying on beat.
