You need to contact the International Student Center of your school and apply for Cap Gap extension and they will give you new I-20 with your OPT expiry date extended to Sept 30. You may need to submit the h1b receipt form you obtained from USCIS and the proof that you filed for H1b during regular time which is April. You need to do so even if you recieve your H1b approval before your OPT expiry since H1b will be valid only from Oct 1.
