The closest places to Rexburg that have carp that I'm aware of are the Blackfoot River and Snake River(parts of both rivers are closed to fishing, so make sure you check the regs). I've never heard of or seen carp in the Snake River drainage above the Gem Lake Dam (on Snake River just downstream of Idaho Falls). There are carp in Equalizing Reservoir (just East of Blackfoot) but I don't know what the current population is like.
In my opinion, Blackfoot Reservoir and American Falls Reservoir are hands down the best carp fisheries in the area. Oneida has many carp but not as many large carp as Blackfoot Reservoir or American Falls Reservoir. Alexander Reservoir and most parts of the Bear River also have a lot of carp.
Blackfoot Reservoir is a large reservoir and American Falls is huge so it can take some time to find carp at these reservoirs. I'll send you a PM with a few details.
