With small mistakes like that, you can just write it correctly.

So, changing the semi-colons to periods is fine. I don't usually care that much about misplaced commas and usually won't bother correcting them, but it's best to not actually add one where it shouldn't be. Commas don't go in sentences just because they sound like they should be there.

With larger errors - like typos, etc - use [sic]. Then you can just leave the mistake in the transcript.
