Both Frodo and Sam are "heroic" characters, but in my thinking Frodo is meant to be the main "hero" - because he chose to be the Ring bearer, and suffered greatly and permanently from this immense burden.
I see Sam more as the "everyman" character - a type of character that the reader can more relate to, in terms of motivations and reactions.
