The sentence is most expressing an matter fact, meanings such as "I have no choice because..", or "It's all because...", but not in a sad and helpless way but usually an expression used between friends or closed ones for fondness.
I would translate the sentences you mentioned as:
谁叫我是你妹妹:('A' asked for a favour and 'B' agreeed and said: I'm your sister after all.
谁叫我喜欢你:It's all because I like you so much.
I agree the tone's not entirely the same, but don't know how to do a better translation...

这个很难说...这是个很"中文的"说法. 一般不会这么说.
但你非要说不可:
"谁叫我是你妹妹”
Who said I was your sister?
“谁叫我喜欢你”
Who said I should like you?
也不是很标准, 要看你的态度才能翻译更正确一点
我建议你不要这么说(用英语的时候)还是找别的说法表达你的意思。

because i am your sister,
because i love you,这样就可以了
中译英的话,最好意译
