  Hello there,
  WordPress.com does support underscore in the URL’s.
  The URL’s should migrate over along with the underscore, if they were part of the title. If they weren’t part of the title you might have to edit each URL to the way you want it. You might want to use the old post editor to edit the posts to customise the URL’s.

  I tried one on my test blog just to be sure that underscore works the way you want and it works fine. I have edited the – to _ in the URL.
