just dry them well. i fish in the rain alot and never had problems. if water gets into the drag it can make it sticky. i just tighten my drag and pull so any water inbetween the discs gets pushed out. if you belive they got water inside i would take off the side plate and dry it out. maybe put some oil on the bearings just in case.

A lot depends on HOW wet they got and for how long??
If they were in a bucket, and it filled up with the Reels inside, they are soaked inside as well as outside...
If they were just laying on a table or?? and got rain on them, not so bad...
Also a lot depends on what type of reels and make/model also....
Reels designed for Saltwater have better quality S/S Anti Rust bearings...

More info please..........
